§ 37. Mr. Ioan L. Evansasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has received the report from the inspector inquiring into the affairs of Travel and Holiday Clubs Limited, and Fiesta Tours Limited; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. JayI regret that the report of the inspectors has been delayed by several weeks. Delay has been caused partly by litigation and partly by the possibility of additional evidence.
§ Mr. Ioan L. Evansasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will set up an inquiry under Section 165 of the Companies Act, 1948, into the affairs of Omar Khayyam Tours Limited, in view of the fact that persons concerned with the management of its affairs have been guilty of misconduct towards it or its members; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. JayOn the information at present available to me there do not appear to be grounds for appointing an inspector under Section 165 of the Companies Act, 1948, to investigate the affairs of Omar Khayyam Hotels (Overseas) Ltd.
Mr. Ioan L. Evans asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of certain travel agencies going into liquidation, if he will make a further statement on the Government's proposals to protect holiday-makers affected by such action.
§ Mr. JayI have at present nothing to add to the Answer which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Blyth (Mr. Milne) on 8th July.
