Mr. FRED HALLasked if the Prime Minister's attention has been called to the letter from Mr. Gerald Montagu to the Postmaster-General as to the circum stances in which certain Marconi shares were purchased by the firm of Samuel Montagu and Company for their Amsterdam correspondents, Wertheim and Gompertz; and if he can state in what manner the attention of Wertheim and Gompertz was called to the advantage of this particular investment?
