Dept of Trade and Industry

Answer: Mr. Cousins: To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will investigate the timing of sales of shares in Dixons. [5109] Mr. Nigel Griffiths: It is the Department's longstanding policy not to discuss the affairs of individual companies. My Department takes seriously its role in the investigation of any misconduct, and is always keen to receive any information which might assist in deciding if enquiries are needed. If the hon. Member has any information which he feels ought to be brought to my attention, he should do so as soon as possible.
