HC Deb 31 January 1934 vol 285 cc353-4
44. Sir GEORGE JONES

asked the Attorney-General whether he has considered the possibility of taking proceedings against directors and officials responsible for carrying on the business of an insurance company after such persons have become aware of its insolvency; and whether it is the intention of the Government to issue process where the necessary evidence is available against all persons responsible for illegality in the course of carrying on such business?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

If my hon. Friend has any case to bring to my notice in which he suggests there is evidence that the directors or officials of an insurance company have been responsible for illegality in carrying on the business of the company, I shall be ready to consider whether any action can be taken.
