HC Deb 13 December 1968 vol 775 c229W
Mr. Grant

asked the President of the Board of Trade, how many successful prosecutions of moneylenders have taken place under the Moneylenders Acts or the Companies Acts in each of the last five years.

Mr. Dell

Prosecutions under the Moneylenders Acts are not instituted by the Board of Trade, but by the police or local authorities without reference to the Board of Trade. The particulars of prosecutions instituted by the Board of Trade under the Companies Acts do not distinguish between moneylenders and other persons.
