§ 46. Mr. TURTONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider the revision of and additions to the list of stocks eligible for investment by trustees under the Trustee Acts?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAMy hon Friend's suggestion is in mind, but the present is not considered a suitable time to make the revision.
§ Mr. TURTONDoes not my hon. Friend realise, as it is a long time since that legislation was passed, that the financial stability of a stock may possibly have altered materially since then?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAYes, and that is the question I have answered, but I think the hon. Gentleman will agree that in present unstable conditions it would not be advisable to make the change.
