Securities And Investments Board Mr. Colvin To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) what criteria he adopted in agreeing the increases in the budget for the Securities and Investments Board for 1991–92;(2) what consultation there has been between his Department, the Securities and Investments Board, the self-regulatory bodies and the recognised professional bodies on the increase in respective contributions to the Securities and Investments Board budget for 1991–92; and what changes were made as a result of those consultations. Mr. Redwood The Securities and Investments Board's budget is a matter for the board. I have had discussions with the chairman recently and have a further meeting planned next week.
