§ 12. Mr. du Cannasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has now completed his consideration of the Report of the Bankruptcy Law Amendment Committee; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir D. EcclesI cannot add anything to the reply given on the 23rd March to a Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Croydon, North-East (Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett). This Report is still under consideration and there is little prospect of early legislation.
§ Mr. du CannIn view of the fact that there appears to be a good deal of support for the Committee's recommendations and that it is the first comprehensive review of this important subject for nearly fifty years, can the President of the Board of Trade say when he thinks he may be in a position to make a statement?
§ Sir D. EcclesI wish I could, but I am afraid I cannot.
