Canadian and English Stores Limited

HC Deb 06 March 1958 vol 583 cc166-7W

Mr. Lewis

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the concern felt by shareholders in the public company Canadian and English Stores Limited; and whether he will appoint a committee of inquiry to investigate matters affecting this company.

Sir D. Eccles

The shareholders have not approached the Board of Trade, and I understand that there is a shareholders' committee which is in touch with the directors. I see no reason to intervene.
