§ Mr. Staintonasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in view of concern as to the adequacy of insurance legislation and the involvement of many small investors in property bonds, he is satisfied that the terms of reference 276W of the departmental committee headed by Sir Hilary Scott are adequate; what progress is being made; and whether the principal findings or the complete report will be promptly published.
§ Mr. RidleyYes. It is too early to forecast when the Committee will be ready to report but they have received and are now studying a considerable volume of written evidence.
