In an earlier paper (3), polycyclic groups in which every subgroup can be generated by d, or fewer, elements were studied. In this paper we investigate the structure of those polycyclic groups G such that every abelian normal subgroup of F(G), the Fitting subgroup of G, can begenerated by at most d elements.
