§ Mr. Maddenasked the Secretary of State for Trade how many witnesses have been interviewed by the inspectors inquiring into the affairs of the Peachey Property Co.; if he will list them; when he expects to receive the inspector's report; if he will publish the report in full; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisTwenty-nine. It would not be appropriate at this stage to list the witnesses who have been interviewed. The usual practice is for such a list to be appended to the report when it is submitted. As I informed the hon. Member for Hampstead (Mr. Finsberg) on 26th October and 9th November 1977, the inspectors expect to make a substanstial interim report by March 1978, and the question of publication will be considered when the interim report is received. I do not propose to make a statement now.
