BELLING'S PENSION FUND

EDM number 338 in 1995-96, proposed by Peter L Pike on 25/01/1996.

That this House notes that Messrs Deacon and Fuller, a lawyer and businessman, were found guilty in Middlesex Crown Court on Wednesday 24th January of cheating Bellings of ú2 million; further notes that large sums are still missing from the Belling Pension Fund where there had clearly been fraud and misuse of that fund; believes that the Department of Trade and Industry should now call for a full inquiry into the events leading to the bankruptcy of Bellings & Co. in May 1992, believing that all the evidence shows that they were insolvent long before that date; and further believes steps should also be taken to restore the losses incurred by members of the pension fund.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
