HC Deb 15 June 1993 vol 226 cc494-5W
Mr. Radice

To ask the President of the Board of Trade when he expects to publish his Department's report into the collapse of the British and Commonwealth Company.

Mr. Neil Hamilton

Inspectors were appointed on 15 June 1990 under section 432 of the Companies Act 1985 to investigate and report on the affairs of Atlantic Computers plc and Atlantic Computer Systems plc, both major companies in the British and Commonwealth group. The inspectors are in the final stages of their investigations but they have not yet submitted their report; I will consider publication when it is received.
