HC Deb 02 March 1931 vol 249 c26
58. Mr. EDE

asked the Attorney-General whether he has examined the circumstances of the financial administration of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company; and what action he proposes to take thereon?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

The issues involved, as my hon. Friend is probably aware, are very complicated in this case. In due course every aspect of the matter will come under my review. My hon. Friend will not, in these circumstances, expect me at the present time to give a reply in further detail.

Mr. EDE

Can my hon. and learned Friend assure the House that any decision taken will be absolutely irrespective of the social status of the persons involved?

Sir K. WOOD

Insulting your own Attorney!
