HC Deb 22 March 1905 vol 143 cc796-7
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether he is aware that the Official Receiver, in his report on the Nelson's Widows Pension Scheme, has stated that, in his opinion, fraud has been committed in the company's business; and whether he has taken, or intends to take, steps to put the Public Prosecutor in motion with reference to this case.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir ROBERT FINLAY, Inverness Burghs)

This case is still under investigation by the Official Receiver and the Court, and I am not at present in a position to express an opinion upon it.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

Will you give a guarantee that the rule in Whitaker Wright's case will not be adopted here?
