Mr. Jay

I would refer the hon. Member to my Answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Alfred Morris) on 3rd December. The report of the inspectors is being referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions under Section 169(1) of the Companies Act, 1948: and, in consequence, I cannot say at present when it will be possible to publish it.

Mr. Darling

The report of the inspectors was received on 30th November and is being referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions under Section 169(1) of the Companies Act, 1948; in consequence, I cannot say at present when it will be possible to publish it. I am advised that a report cannot be published in part.
