HC Deb 10 December 2001 vol 376 cc667-8W
Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether his Department is undertaking investigations into potential insider dealing regarding Railtrack shares in the period immediately before the suspension of shares in Railtrack; and if he will make a statement. [19784]

Ms Hewitt

It is not the policy of my Department to comment on the affairs of particular companies. However, in view of the Department's concurrent responsibility with the Financial Services Authority for insider dealing from 1 December, the Department is willing to consider, in conjunction with the Financial Services Authority, any information the hon. Member may have suggesting insider dealing in Railtrack shares.
