Mr. Blair
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the Offical Report a table showing, for each of the public corporations privatised during the period 1979 to 1984 (a) the number of shareholders by size band of holding immediately after flotation and (b) the same information at each succeeding 31 December.
Mr. Moore
[pursuant to his reply, 23 January 1985, c. 446]: The information provided previously concerning shareholdings in Amersham International was incorrect. The correct information is as follows:
| Number of shares held | Number of shareholders at time of allotment |
| 1–499 | 55,486 |
| 500–999 | 3,132 |
| 1,000–9,999 | 4,372 |
| 10,000–49,999 | 696 |
| 50,00099,999 | 44 |
| 100,000+ | 30 |
| 63,760 |
