HC Deb 24 February 1915 vol 70 c274
14. Mr. GINNELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade the total liability of the institution known as the John Bull Bank, and the total assets or security available to meet those liabilities?

Mr. ROBERTSON

The John Bull Bank is not registered under the Companies Acts, and consequently the Board of Trade have no information as to its assets and liabilities.

Mr. GINNELL

Has the Board any power to ascertain the facts asked in the question?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I will make inquiries.
