89. and 90. Mr. Parkin

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development (1) if he will inquire, under Section 165 (b) (ii) of the Companies Act 1948, into the affairs of Denecroft Estates Ltd., as a result of the circumstances in which Mr. Rolf Lefevre negotiated with Peter Rachman and paid by cheque to Mr. Abraham Kramer £350 for a 21½ year lease of 7 Albert Palace Mansions, which had been secured 14 days earlier without premium in the name of Patricia Berry from Denecroft Estates Ltd. without the knowledge of their members;

(2) whether he is aware that, as certified by the Ealing district valuer on PD 71751, A. Kramer & Co. acted as solicitor for June Royle when she was granted on 19th October 1956 without premium of 21½year lease on a flat at 39 The Avenue, West Ealing, unknown to members of Denecroft Estates Ltd., the owners, of which Abraham Kramer was director and solicitor, which lease was on 23rd May 1957 assigned to J. Jandula for £350 paid by bankers draft to A. Kramer & Co.; and if he will set up an inquiry, under Section 165 (b) (i) of the Companies Act 1948, into the affairs of Denecroft Estates Ltd.
