§ Mr. RedwoodTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations she has received about errors in conversion tables in the DTI publication "The Euro: Redenomination of Share Capital", a DTI consultation paper; and if she will make a statement. [26784]
§ Mrs. Beckett[holding answer 2 February 1998]: Two. An incorrect conversion rate was used in an illustration of the conversion of sterling nominal or par values of shares into euro. However, the point of the illustration, that some fractional sterling par values could round to zero on conversion and application of rounding rules, remains valid.
