HC Deb 30 July 1908 vol 193 cc1758-9
MR. WALSH

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the remarks of Mr. Justice Swinfen Eady in the case of the International Securities Corporation, Limited, on 23rd July, wherein he described the company as carrying on a business of a peculiarly mischievous character by illegal and fraudulent means, and tempting poor people to part with sums of money by means of seductive and attractive advertisements, and expressed the opinion that the company ought to be wound up at once; and what steps, if any, the Board proposes to take in the matter.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. CHURCHILL,) Dundee

An order has been made by the Court for the compulsory winding-up of the International Securities Corporation, Limited, and a full investigation is in course of being made by the Official Receiver.
