Mr. Cryer
asked the Secretary of State for Energy what fee was charged by the Government's commercial advisers on the sale of shares in Amersham International Ltd.
Mr. John Moore
The commission retained by N. M. Rothschild & Sons Ltd. and Morgan Grenfell & Co. Ltd., which were the issuing houses for the flotation of Amersham International, was £310,000, excluding VAT, of which Her Majesty's Government paid £230,000; Rothschilds will receive no other fee for their advice in connection with the issue.
