HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 cc274-5W
Mr. Kitson

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he received the report from his inspectors on Cadco Limited; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jay

The report of the inspectors who investigated the affairs of Cadco Developments Limited, Royal Victoria Sausages Limited and Victoria Wholesale Meats Limited was received on 18th August, 1965. I referred it to the Lord Advocate and the Director of Public Prosecutions on 23rd August, 1965. The Board of Trade gave no assistance under the Local Employment Acts to this project. The Board of Trade Advisory Committee made a thorough investigation into the company's application for a building grant and advised against it; the Board accordingly refused a grant.
