HC Deb 04 February 1932 vol 261 c256
68. Mr. POTTER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the hardship caused to estates administered under the Deeds of Arrangement Act, 1914, by non-assenting creditors instituting bankruptcy proceedings in cases where the majority of creditors have assented to the deed, he will take steps to amend the Act so that the assenting majority in value of creditors shall bind the non-assenting minority of creditors.

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The suggestion of the hon. Gentleman has been noted.
