HC Deb 04 May 1971 vol 816 cc325-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, during his investigations into matters pertaining to the Vehicle and General Insurance Company, he will also investigate matters of a similar character affecting his Department's handling of the Dollar Land Company Limited.

Mr. John Davies

I do not think that it would be appropriate to extend to Dollar Land Holdings Ltd. the inquiry which Inspectors appointed under Section 165 of the Companies Act, 1948 are making into the affairs of the Vehicle and General Insurance Company Limited.
