HC Deb 22 October 1908 vol 194 cc1335-6
MR. CROSSLEY (Cheshire, Altrincham)

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the action being taken against the Provincial Homes Investment Company in Manchester and of the litigation about to ensue, in which the poor investors' money will be spent in defence of the directors; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter.

(Answered by Mr. Churchill.) It has been brought to my knowledge that there has been litigation in Manchester between the Provincial Homes Investment Company and some of its policy holders or bond holders, but I have no power to intervene in any way.
