HC Deb 22 July 1931 vol 255 cc1481-2
41. Mr. MARCUS

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take legislative steps, in eases where a private limited company obtains a new credit, to compel the directors or auditors to deliver to such new creditors a copy of their last balance sheet and to obtain a receipt therefor?

Mr. W. R. SMITH

I cannot undertake to introduce legislation on the lines proposed by my hon. Friend.
