HC Deb 24 July 1923 vol 167 cc239-40W
Mr. BRIANT

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if the action against the purchasers of Richborough for performance of the contract has been commenced; if the receiver appointed by the Court has disposed of any portion of the property; if so, for what amount; and if any deposit on the transaction is in the possession of the Treasury?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

On the 18th July an offer to rescind the contract subject to certain conditions was made on behalf of the Crown by my hon. Friend the Solicitor-General and the question is still before the Court. The Receiver has disposed of property so far amounting to £228,732 18s. 10d. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
