HC Deb 15 January 1992 vol 201 c596W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will indemnify the takeover panel against possible liability for defamation arising from the preparation and publication of its pending report on the takeover of House of Fraser; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redwood

I am not responsible for the takeover panel and the question of indemnification in respect of any of its business does not therefore arise.
