HC Deb 29 November 1932 vol 272 c647
10. Mr. JOHN MORRIS (for Sir JOHN HASLAM)

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Board of Trade, in accordance with its practice during the past three years, has yet referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions the result of its examination into the profit-and-doss accounts of Waring and Gillow, Limited, over the period 1925 to 1930, as shown by the investigations of the Official Receiver in the compulsory winding-up of that company?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Official Receiver has not yet completed his investigations into the affairs of the company, and the question of what further steps may be necessary must await his report.
