HC Deb 27 October 1966 vol 734 c196W
33. Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the President of the Board of Trade what investigations he has made under Section 165(b)(ii) of the Companies Act, 1948, into the circumstances surrounding the offer of shares to the public in National Investors Life Assurance Company (U.K.) Limited, details of which were sent to him by the hon. Member for Wanstead and Woodford.

Mr. Darling

On present information my right hon. Friend sees no grounds for appointing inspectors under Section 165(b)(ii) of the Companies Act, 1948, but the details which the hon. Member sent are being carefully examined. My right hon. Friend will write to him in due course.
