Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he expects the next tranche of the share sale of Lloyds Bank to take place; and what steps he plans to take to ensure the widest share ownership.

The Government has also announced that a sale to include retail investors will take place within the next twelve months
