HC Deb 03 May 1934 vol 289 c468
34. Mr. MALLALIEU

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will state the total sum repaid by the Treasury in respect of loans guaranteed under the Trade Facilities Acts on behalf of either or both of the Anglo-Scottish beet-sugar corporations?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

It has been the invariable practice to treat as confidential details concerning particular guarantees under the Acts, if they relate to companies engaged in active business and are outside the scope of the information which the Acts themselves require to be published.
