HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 cc86-7W
Colonel GRETTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade if the periodical reports usual in cases of winding-up companies are furnished to the Board of Trade by the controllers of enemies' businesses in this country ordered by the Board of Trade to be wound up; and if any general principles of policy are laid down by the Board of Trade for the guidance of these controllers?

Mr. PRETYMAN

The Board of Trade is in constant touch with the controllers of enemy businesses which have been ordered to be wound up, and they furnish reports as to the position of the winding-up as required. I have already laid on the Table of the House a copy of a circular issued to controllers for their guidance.
