§ 50. Mr. GEORGE FABERasked whether the Deutsche Bank in London has now been finally wound up and its licence cancelled and the premises sold; and, if not, when that vital enemy stronghold is likely to fall?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe work of handing over the securities to the Public Trustee has not yet been completed, and is proving to be work of great detail and complexity, which, owing to a further depletion of staff, is taking longer than was expected. The sale of the premises by auction had been advertised for the 19 th June and will take place on that day.
§ Mr. FABERSeeing that the right hon. Gentleman said a short time ago in this House that he hoped the Deutsche Bank would be finally wound up by the end of March or the beginning of this month, will he take such steps as are possible to expedite the matter?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWReally all possible steps are being taken which do not involve a waste of money.
