HC Deb 29 January 1930 vol 234 cc1011-2W
Mr. F. OWEN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the recent revelations arising from the activities of private companies, he proposes to place any limit upon the financial operations of private companies?

Mr. W. R. SMITH

I note the hon. Member's suggestion that a limit should be placed upon the financial operations of private companies, but I should be glad if he will let me have his specific proposals, as I am not clear what he has in mind.
