HC Deb 10 July 1923 vol 166 c1174
52. Mr. TREVELYAN THOMSON

asked the. Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the Prudential Assurance Company has not appealed against the recent decision of the Hull County Court that it should refund the whole of the premiums collected by it on a Five Per Cent. War Bond Policy because these had been obtained by means of fraudulent misrepresentation, he can now say whether the Public Prosecutor intends taking any action, having regard to the state of affairs disclosed by this case?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Mr. THOMSON

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS
