HC Deb 24 March 1937 vol 321 c2897
77. Mr. T. Johnston

asked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the recent revelations at the Central Criminal Court in a share pushing case, he will draw the attention of Sir Archibald Bodkin's committee of inquiry into share pushing to the free services and advices now being offered to potential investors by a firm called H. Edward Williams and Company through the medium of a publication described as the "Financial and Commercial Record"?

The Solicitor-General

The methods to which the hon. Member calls attention have already been brought to the notice of the committee of inquiry into share pushing.

Mr. Johnston

In this particular case?

The Solicitor-General

I would rather not give an answer as to any particular case. The methods have been brought to the notice of the Committee, and I can assure the right hon. Gentleman that the particular case has not escaped attention.
