HC Deb 05 March 1931 vol 249 c620W
Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider the advisability of securing the revocation of the Royal Charter of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company in view of the recent disclosures?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

As has already been stated in this House in answer to cognate questions, the affairs of this company are being investigated by the voting trustees; and I cannot usefully make any statement at the present stage on the particular point which the hon. Member raises.
