HC Deb 11 June 1973 vol 857 cc239-40W
41. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether, in the light of the disclosures revealed by the Lonhro affair, lie will move to appoint a Select Committee to investigate to what extent these practices are in operation in other companies; and what action the Government should take to prevent such practices.

Mr. Prior

No. In its current review of company law the Department of Trade and Industry is consideringinter alia the extent to which further disclosures should be required from companies.
