HC Deb 28 February 1935 vol 298 c1302
46. Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked 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 MOORE

If I give my hon. Friend actual information on this point, will he be prepared to consider it?

Mr. COOPER

indicated assent.
