HC Deb 18 July 1918 vol 108 cc1203-4
40. Mr. MACMASTER

asked the President of the Board of Trade who are the directors of the Hackney Furnishing Company, Limited; did they recently change their names and are they of alien origin; what is the name of the managing director and is the name by which he is now known his family name; what was his family name before the change; and is the company in question in liquidation or a going concern, and, if in liquidation, who is the liquidator?

Sir A. STANLEY

The Hackney Furnishing Company, Limited, passed a resolution for voluntary liquidation on the 29th July, 1914, but on the 26th June, 1917, an order was made by the Court staying all further proceedings in the winding-up. I am having inquiries made as to the names and nationality of origin of the directors of the company.
