HC Deb 18 March 1930 vol 236 cc1917-8W
Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the President of the Board of Trade by what, or by whose, authority the Registrar and

Northern Ireland and registered as consigned from European countries (excluding the Irish Free State) during the year 1929. Particulars are not readily available regarding the ports from which these goods were shipped.

Solicitor to the Board of Trade recently delayed putting into operation the provisions of the Act of Parliament in respect of the 2,600 companies which neglected to publish balance sheets or hold statutory meetings within the period prescribed by the Act?

Mr. W. R. SMITH

I think the hon. and gallant Member is under some misapprehension. The full procedure followed in these cases was set out in the reply to the hon. Member for Hereford (Mr. F. Owen) on 4th February, of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy.
