HC Deb 15 February 1933 vol 274 c1010
77. Sir PARK GOFF

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will, until suitable additions have been made to the 1929 Companies Act by way of criminal clauses, continue and widen the embargo regulations on new capital issues so that they apply to home issues, in order that there may be a reduction of opportunity by company promoters, finance and issuing firms, flotation brokers and others, of inflicting losses similar to those suffered by investors in recent years as a result of their having subscribed to capital flotations issued under limited liability?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I would refer any hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member for Portsmouth, North (Sir B. Falle) on the 20th December.
