HC Deb 28 June 1971 vol 820 c21W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry why he will not prosecute the directors of Dollar Land Company Limited, who falsely proclaim themselves as directors without the necessary shareholdings.

Mr. John Davies

I have no evidence that any of the present directors are in breach of Section 182(5) of the Companies Act, 1948. And I do not think there is justification for prosecuting any of the company's former directors under this provision.
