§ Mr. R. C. MORRISONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the liquidation proceedings of a company trading as the Bank of London at which it was alleged that sums amounting to £153,741 had been obtained from the public by selling worthless shares in gold-mining companies; and what action he proposes to take?
§ Captain CROOKSHANKThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The affairs of the company are being investigated by the Official Receiver and pending his report I am not in a position to say what, if any, action will be taken.
