HC Deb 10 January 1977 vol 923 c1034
11. Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he has completed his study of the Stock Exchange inquiry report on the company SUITS; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Clinton Davis

At this stage I have nothing to add to the answers which my right hon. and learned Friend the Lord Advocate and I gave on 6th December last.

Mr. Canavan

Will my hon. Friend pay particular attention to the prima facie evidence of breaches of Sections 27 and 33 of the Companies Act 1967? Will he also undertake to examine the books of some of the shady outfits where Sir Hugh Fraser is supposed to have squandered his money, such as London gambling clubs and the Scottish National Party?

Mr. Davis

I assure my hon. Friend that both the Lord Advocate and I will pay consideration to all relevant matters.
