HL Deb 15 March 1993 vol 543 c76WA
Lord Spens

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether and if so when, they intend to publish the report from the Department of Trade and Industry inspectors into the takeover of Debenhams plc by the Burton Group plc and, if not, why not.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Baroness Denton of Wakefield)

Inspectors under the Companies Act have not been appointed in relation to this matter and there is no report which could be published under the provisions of Section 437(3)(c) of the Companies Act 1985.
