§ 3. Mr. WATERSONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any investigation has taken place into the profits made by the Bell Spinning Company, as promised on 10th May last; and, if so, can he now state the decision?
§ Sir R. HORNEI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Brighton on the 21st June. The investigation to which I then referred is not yet completed.
§ Mr. WATERSONWhen may we expect the completion of this Report?
§ Sir R. HORNEI have been doing what I can to get it as soon as possible, but I cannot say definitely.
§ Mr. WATERSONWill the right hon. Gentleman accelerate it?
§ Sir R. HORNEI am willing to do anything in my power towards that end.
