HC Deb 16 June 1913 vol 54 cc35-6
55. Major ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the denials made by the Postmaster-General and the Attorney-General, on behalf of their colleagues, of having had any dealings in English Marconi shares were explicity confined to Cabinet Ministers, and in view of the fact that several Government Departments were concerned in the negotiation of the Marconi Agreement, can he now state whether he has received any information from Ministers other than Cabinet Ministers as to transactions in Marconi shares either in the English company or its associated companies?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative.

Major ARCHER-SHEE
