HC Deb 21 November 2001 vol 375 cc361-2W
Mr. Flight

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the average loss to private shareholders as a result of the administration of Railtrack. [16027]

Mr. Jamieson

I have been asked to reply.

The administrator will be seeking to obtain the best value he can for the assets in Railtrack plc. If there is a surplus value, net of liabilities, this will be made available to Railtrack Group plc and its shareholders.
