HC Deb 13 May 1925 vol 183 cc1844-5
47. Mr. THURTLE

asked the Prime Minister if lie will consider the introduction of legislation to limit the amount of dividend which may be paid by public or private companies

Mr. A. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. THURTLE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that legislation such as is suggested would tend to promote peace in industry?

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Would it not be equally fair to ask the Government to limit the amount of losses sustained by such companies
