HC Deb 07 July 1936 vol 314 c1017
28. Mr. HANNAH

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of recent revelations about outside stock and share dealers, he will introduce legislation for the compulsory registration of all outside dealers, thus insuring some control over their activities?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on 29th June to the hon. Members for Reigate (Mr. Touche) and North Tottenham (Mr. R. C. Morrison), and in reply to Questions Nos. 24 and 25 to-day.

Mr. R. C. MORRISON

Is it the intention of the right hon. Gentleman not to deal with this specific question until the general revision of the Companies Act?

Mr. SHINWELL

Is not this interference with private enterprise becoming somewhat alarming?
