HC Deb 17 November 1949 vol 469 c224W
78. Mr. Warbey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce legislation to forbid the selling of stocks and shares which, at the time when they are offered for sale, are not the property of the seller.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No. I do not think it would be practicable to enforce legislation on such a matter.
