HC Deb 09 February 1926 vol 191 cc815-6
11. Mr. FORREST

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give a list of the companies, distinguishing them by industries, which have created bonus shares since 1916?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Whenever a company limited by shares makes any allotment of its shares the company must within one, month file with the Registrar of Companies a return of the allotments, but a company is not required to indicate what shares have been issued as bonus shares. In these Circumstances it is not possible to supply the information asked for.
