§ 37. Mr. Chetwyndasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will implement the recommendations contained in the report of the Select Committee on Estimates on the administration of the North-East Trading Estates Company with reference to the appointment of directors, and take powers to appoint them himself.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI have asked the chairman and directors of this company, in common with those of other Trading Estates companies, to amend their articles of association so as to make this possible.
§ Mr. ChetwyndWould my right hon. Friend say what attitude has been adopted by other companies in the country besides the North-East Trading Estates Company?
§ Mr. WilsonAll have accepted my suggestion and altered the articles of association. I am meeting the chairman and directors of the North-East Trading Estates Company this afternoon. I do not know what line they are proposing to take.
