HC Deb 08 February 1999 vol 325 cc43-4W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) when he expects to publish the report of the inquiry into the flotation of the Mirror Group; [65587]

(2) if he will publish an interim report into the inquiry on the flotation of the Mirror Group. [65586]

Mr. Byers

The Inspectors have not completed their inquiries. No interim report has been prepared by them. It is important for the inspection to be completed as quickly as is possible and for a final report to be submitted. The publication of an interim report could delay the publication of a final report.
