§ Mr. BelcherThese six companies are all inter-connected and were in voluntary liquidation. Petitions for their compulsory winding up were heard before Mr. justice Vaisey on 18th of this month, and an Order was made for each company12W to be wound-up by the court under the Companies Act, 1929. The Senior Official Receiver who is now the liquidator of each company is required by Section 182 of the Act to report whether in his opinion further inquiry is desirable as to any matter relating to the promotion, formation, or failure of the companies Or the conduct of the business thereof. As the administration of the affairs of the companies is now in the hands of the court, no action is required by the Board of Trade.
