§ 48. Mr. GEORGE TERRELLasked the Prime Minister whether, with a view to facilitate the transfer by trustees to the Treasury of American dollar securities, the Government propose to introduce legislation to enable any of the trustees to act independently of a co-trustee who may be absent abroad on military or other service?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think that so great an interference with the provisions of Trust Deeds as this suggestion involves would be justified. The Execution of Trust (War Facilities) Acts, 1914 and 1915, already provide consider- 816 able special facilities for the performance by trustees of their duties in the exceptional circumstances of the present time.
