HC Deb 27 April 1937 vol 323 cc148-9
3. Sir Nicholas Grattan-Doyle

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether in view of the sub-unit holders of a fixed trust having been asked by its managers to exchange into a different form of trust, he will, pending the introduction of unit trust legislation, take power to require in such cases that the unexpired loading and service fees and escrow provision already received from the fixed trust sub-unit holders shall be returned in cash and that the names of the directors of the proposed different form of trust shall be disclosed?

Mr. Runciman

I understand that the action taken in this case has not gone beyond a referendum to ascertain the preliminary views of the sub-unit holders. I am aware of no ground for the special legislation suggested by my hon. Friend.
