§ 3. Mr. A. M. SAMUELasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will set up a Departmental Committee to consider certain defects in the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, to which his attention has recently been drawn by the Association of British Chambers of Commerce?
Mr. WEBBI doubt whether there has been sufficient experience of the working of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, under normal conditions to justify the appointment of a Departmental Committee to 2098 consider further amendments of the law, but the proposals made by the Association of British Chambers of Commerce will receive the most careful consideration when any legislation is contemplated.
