Mr. BILLINGasked the Prime Minister whether he is prepared to place upon the Table of the House a list of the names of all members of His Majesty's Government and/or Members of the House of Commons and/or of His Majesty's Government Departments who are either directly or indirectly financially concerned, in their private or public capacity, in the affairs of the Deutsche Bank or the Bank Commerciale or the Fried. Krupp Achengesellschaft or the Anglo-Austrian Bank or the Oester-reichische Laenderbank?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe. answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. BILLINGCan the right hon. Gentleman say why the answer is in the negative? Has it any bearing upon the fact that we cannot get these banks shut up?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt has no bearing on that. The reason for its being in the negative can be gathered by the hon. Gentleman, if he puts his mind to it.
