HC Deb 17 April 1934 vol 288 c889
51. Mr. OSWALD LEWIS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the desirability of legislation for amending the Trustee Act, 1925, to provide for some statutory authority with power to make suitable additions from time to time to the list of securities available for investment by trustees?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

No, Sir; I do not think that such a proposal is necessary in the public interest, and I would refer my hon. Friend to the report of the Committee presided over by Mr. Justice Lawrence (Command Paper No. 3107 of 1928).

Mr. LEWIS

Will my hon. Friend ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider what other methods there may be of keeping the Trustee Act, 1925, up to date?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I will certainly ask my right hon. Friend anything.
