HC Deb 09 July 1987 vol 119 c268W
Mr. Butterfill

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what instructions on reporting within a specific time limit he has given to the inspectors appointed to inquire into the acquisition of House of Fraser plc by the Fayeed Brothers.

Mr. Maude

Inspectors were appointed on 9 April 1987 under section 432(2) of the Companies Act 1985 to investigate and report on the affairs of House of Fraser Holdings plc. It is not the practice to instruct Companies Act inspectors to report by a specific date.
