§ Mr. Lewisasked the President of the Board of Trade on what date he ordered an investigation into the affairs of the Gordon Hotels Limited; why these investigations have taken so long; and when he expects to publish the report on these investigations.
§ Sir D. EcclesMy predecessor appointed inspectors to investigate this matter on 1st March last. I am sure that they have conducted their inquiries as expeditiously as possible. I expect to receive their report very shortly and shall study it first before deciding about publication.
