HC Deb 08 November 1982 vol 31 c21W
32. Mr. Lofthouse

asked the Minister for Trade if he will establish a full inquiry into the recent alleged financial irregularities in companies involved in the Lloyd's insurance market.

Dr. Vaughan

My right hon. and noble Friend has already appointed inspectors under section 165(1)(b) of the Companies Act 1948, as amended, to investigate and report on the affairs of Alexander Howden Group PLC.

On 4 November 1982, I announced that it was intended to appoint Inspectors to investigate the affairs of Minet Holdings PLC.
