§ 46. Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the fact that many trade unions have recently reported an increase in their funds as a result of successful speculation in stock exchange securities; and whether he will consider the desirability of introducing legislation to control such speculation on the part of trade unions?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Duff Cooper)The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part does not therefore arise.
§ Lieut.-Colonel MOOREIf I give my hon. Friend actual information on this point, will he be prepared to consider it?
§ Mr. COOPERindicated assent.
