HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 cc400-1W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry why he intervened in the Poulson bankruptcy hearing on Tuesday, 1st August, 1972; with what results; and on how many previous occasions his Department has taken the same type of action over the longest stated period of time.

Mr. Noble

The hon. Member is mistaken. My right hon. Friend did not intervene in the Poulson bankruptcy hearing on 1st August, 1972. I would refer the hon. Member to the answers given by my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General on 4th August to the hon. Members for Hackney, Central (Mr. Clinton Davis) and Wimbledon (Mr. Havers).—[Vol. 842,c. 218.]
