§ 3. Mr. THURTLEasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the Baird Television Development Company, Limited, has not held any annual meeting or submitted any accounts and balance sheet since the company was floated in 1927, a period of more than 18 months; and if he is proposing to take any action to enforce the law against this company?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI understand from the chairman of the company that the meeting was deferred in view of 1562 negotiations with the General Post Office and British Broadcasting Corporation, which were in progress in the latter part of the year for the provision of facilities for an experimental broadcast of television, that arrangements have only just reached a stage at which progress can be reported to the shareholders, and that a general meeting is now being convened. In the circumstances, I do not think that any action on my part is required.
