§ Major EDMONDSONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, seeing 1493W that in the past losses have been experienced by the public owing to the omission of public companies to file annual accounts and balance sheets, why the Board of Trade is even now allowing 330 companies to disregard the duties specifically imposed upon them when the Companies Act was amended in 1929?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the full answer which I gave on 6th May to the questions asked on this subject by the hon. Member for Ilford (Sir G. Hamilton) and the hon. and learned Member for East Grinstead (Sir H. Cautley).
