§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on what date inspectors were appointed to investigate Imperial Monomark Appliances, Kingsway Nominees Limited; how many meetings have been held by the inspectors and with whom; whether their report has been published; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerOn 15th November, 1966, Sir Joseph Molony, KCVO, QC, MA, LLM, and Lord Hirshfield, FCA, were appointed by the Department to investigate the affairs of Imperial Monomark Ltd. under Section 165(b) of the Companies Act, 1948. Inspectors were not appointed in the matter of Kingsway Nominees Ltd. The conduct of the inspection is a matter for the inspectors and it is not the practice of the Department to ascertain how many interviews have been held and with whom. They reported on 29th January, 1971. The question of publication is still under consideration and I am unable to make any further statement.
