HC Deb 24 October 1935 vol 305 c356W
Mr. JOHNSTONE

asked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that certain Canadian life insurance companies are soliciting new moneys in this country by representing that they have assets of a, certain amount without disclosing to the investor that the assets advertised are authorised assets not representing market values; and, as the non-disclosure of this fact apparently constitutes a breach of Section 84 of the Larceny Act, 1861, what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I have been asked to reply. If the hon. Member will send me particulars, I will consider them.
