from Geoff Coggan Sir Gerald Nabarro strongly criticised ICI last week for its handling of applications for the company's £60 millinn loan stock issue. Sir Gerald was apparently very bothered about equality of opportunity - equality, that is to say, for the exclusive body of ICI shareholders, Some had apparently received their application forms later than others, "These forms are virtually pound notes", Sir Gerald added. "According to stockbrokers every £100 worth bought could be worth £107 by the end of next week, ICI should have sent them by recorded delivery.” He himself had applied for £6,000 worth which, on his om reckonging, should bring him a comfortable, undeserved and unworked~for £420.
