HC Deb 14 February 1933 vol 274 cc792-3
15. Sir JOSEPH LAMB

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Official Receiver has yet placed the result of his investigations into the circumstances surrounding the promotion and conduct of the Parent Coal Carbonisation Company before the Public Prosecutor; and do his investigations deal with that company's relations with the Campbeltown Light Railway, Maisel's Petroleum Trust Company, or the Franco-British Oil Company?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Official Receiver has not yet completed his investigations into the affairs of this company. These investigations include inquiry into all matters relevant to the promotion of the company and the conduct of its business.

Sir J. LAMB

Can my right hon. Friend give me any idea as to when it is likely that this report will be received?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No. I am afraid I do not know.
