HC Deb 28 June 1939 vol 349 c495

6.54 p.m.

Mr. Keeling

I beg to move, in page 16, line 37, after "time," to insert, "not being less than twenty-eight days."

The object of this Amendment is to prevent a demand for information at too short notice. I do not suggest that in this matter the Special Commissioners are likely to be harsh or unreasonable, but you never know. and I think that investment companies are entitled to the protection of this Amendment.

The Solicitor-General (Sir Terence O'Connor)

I am much obliged to my hon. Friend for suggesting a very valuable addition to the Clause, and I have much pleasure in accepting the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
