HC Deb 22 May 1995 vol 260 cc417-8W
Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if she will list those companies in which the holder of her office is a majority shareholder which(a) are currently in existence and (b) have been wound up in the past five years. [25720]

Mr. Boswell

There are no companies, either currently in existence or which have been wound up in the past five years, in which the Secretary of State is or was a majority shareholder. The Student Loans Company Ltd., established in 1989, is owned jointly—50 per cent, each—by the Secretaries of State for Education and for Scotland.
