Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Minister for Trade (1) whether the inquiries under section 165 of the Companies Act 1948 into Corporate Management Planning Ltd., referred to in the answer of 21 January to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe, about the case of Mr. B. E. Calvert, Official Report,c. 156–7, have now been completed; and if he will make a statement;

(2) whether his Department has completed the inquiries into the books and papers of Corporate Management Planning Ltd., under section 109 of the Companies Act 1967, referred to in the answer to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe, on 10 November, Official Report, c. 58, about the case of Mr. B. E. Calvert; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Vaughan

[pursuant to his reply, 12 May 1932, c. 251]: My Department's inquiries into Corporate Management Planning Ltd. under section 109 of the Companies Act 1967 were superseded by the appointment of inspectors under section 165 or the Companies Act 1948.
