§ Mr. FORRESTasked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the failure of the Scottish Co-operative Bank, Limited; whether, although the sum involved was not large, the sufferers are, as usual, the small class of investors; whether the Government still intends to introduce its promised measure to deal with the better supervision of this type of bank; and when, in that case, the Bill will be laid before the House?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONIn reply to the first part of the question, as this company is registered in Scotland, no information as to the investors interested in it is available in London, but I am making inquiries. In reply to the second part, I cannot add anything to the reply given to my hon. Friend on 25th April.
