HC Deb 16 July 1980 vol 988 cc571-2W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Attorney-General if he will refer to the Director of Public Prosecutions the Department of Trade inspectors' report on Darjeeling Holdings Ltd., with a view to prosecution of the directors of that company for fraudulent conversion.

The Attorney-General

I have not received details of the allegations, but I understand that the actions of this company were referred to the Director by the inspectors some time ago and, although there was good reason to suspect them to be fraudulent, the matter was stale and the evidence insufficient. The decision antedated the publication of the report.
