HC Deb 15 July 1993 vol 228 cc649-50W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many United Kingdom quoted companies run executive share option schemes; how many directors have taken out options at the latest date for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dorrell

In relation to executive share option schemes approved by the Inland Revenue, this information is not readily available. Information about schemes that are not approved by the Inland Revenue is not held centrally.
