THE EARL OF MAYOMy Lords, in accordance with the notice standing in my name, I beg to move for a Return of moneys of bankrupts' estates not wound up, and still in the hands of whatever Government Department deals with these moneys—the Return to show the amount from each estate that has remained undistributed during the last three years.
§ THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (the EARL of HARDWICKE)In the absence of my noble friend the Secretary to the Board of Trade, I have to say that the Board of Trade has no objection to the granting of a Return which will give, it is thought, the information desired by the noble Earl. I understand that the noble Earl has seen the form of the Return which the Board of Trade is prepared to give and has agreed to it.
Return of Undistributed Moneys belonging to Bankrupts' Estates under Bankruptcy Act, 1883, in which the Receiving Order was made prior to 31st December, 1898, and the Trustee was not released on 31st December, 1901, showing Name of Bankrupt, Court and and No., Date of Receiving Order, Balance of Moneys undistributed at 31st December, 1898. Amount of subsequent Receipts and Payments up to 31st December, 1901, and Balance undistributed at latter Date.
§ Ordered to be laid before the House.—(The Earl of Mayo).
