HC Deb 14 February 1996 vol 271 cc630-1W
24. Mr. Barry Field

To ask the President of the Board of Trade when he expects to reach a decision on the Monopolies and Mergers Commission second inquiry into Solent ferries. [13529]

Mr. John M. Taylor

I understand that completion of the Office of Fair Trading's review has been delayed to take account of late submissions from island residents. It is now expected to be complete by the end of March.
