Mr. WEST RUSSELL(by Private Notice) asked the Attorney-General, in view of the statement that the accounts of Kreuger and Toll misrepresented the true financial position of the company, and that some of the book assets were 311 fictitious, and in view of the losses incurred by British investors in the securities of Kreuger and Toll and the Swedish Match Company, whether he would request the Public Prosecutor to impound all documents and records in the possession of the agents in Britain of the Swedish companies who were instrumental in floating Kreuger and Toll and the Swedish Match securities on the London market, and who issued statements from time to time as to the financial position of the companies in question?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALI have no information in connection with this matter beyond the statements that have appeared in the public Press. I have no power to instruct the Director of Public Prosecutions to impound the documents and records referred to; nor has the Director of Public Prosecutions power to do so.
