Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the(a) total and (b) percentage increase in the capital value of those publicly owned assets, now privatised, on the basis of share capital at the time of issue and valuation on total share value at a given date during 1995. [37366]

Mr. Clappison

Information on the market capitalisation at floatation of the 10 water holding companies in England and Wales, is contained in the National Audit Office report "Department of the Environment: Sale of the Water Authorities in England and Wales", a copy of which is in the Library. Current share values vary daily according to fluctuations in the stock market and this information is not held by my Department.
