HC Deb 21 February 1933 vol 274 cc1610-1W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the results of the investigations into the affairs of Waring and Gillow, Limited, and to the case of Morris and Jones versus Harman have yet been placed at the disposal of the court or of the Public Prosecutor; and, if not, what other steps it is proposed to take applicable to those cases?

Dr. BURGIN:

As regards Waring and Gillow, Limited, in liquidation, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Eccles (Mr. Potter) on 16th February. No further steps are possible, in this case until the Official Receiver's investigations have been completed. The action Morris and Jones, Limited, versus Harman is one to which the Board of Trade were not parties and with which they are not concerned.
