HC Deb 12 May 1971 vol 817 cc132-3W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will move for tribunal of inquiry into the maladministration and neglect upon the part of his Department in failing to carry out its statutory duties in an expeditious and efficient manner, as laid down under the Companies Act, with particular reference to the Dollar Land Holdings Company Limited, Three Ways Nurseries Limited and Hartley Baird Limited.

Mr. John Davies

No. I do not accept the hon. Member's assumption that there was maladministration and neglect.
