HC Deb 24 July 1972 vol 841 c212W
Mr. Carter

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry why he will not publish the report of the investigation of the collapse of the Vehicle and General Insurance Company.

Mr. Noble

As I have previously stated, the report has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions and police inquiries are being made; it is not the normal practice to publish such reports if it appears that to do so might prejudice possible future prosecutions.—[Vol.841, c.132–3.]
