HC Deb 17 October 1972 vol 843 c46W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when his Department were requested by Mr. H. F. Skippers of Romford, Essex, to take action regarding alleged illegalities and irregularities concerning an engineering company, the name of which has been sent to him; on how many occasions was action requested; what steps he took; and with what results.

Mr. Noble

The name of the company was not furnished and I am at present unable to trace the earlier correspondence which Mr. Skipper claims to have had with the Department. I wrote to the hon. Member about this on 4th September and on 11th October.
