HC Deb 10 July 1950 vol 477 c77W
Wakefield

Mr. asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what restrictions he places on professional money-lenders in respect to loans for speculative purposes.

Sir S. Cripps

Loans by professional money-lenders like all other classes of loan come under the Control of Borrowing Order, 1947. The Treasury does not issue consent to loans for speculative purposes.
