Description

Robin Amlot interviews Lord Boardman (Tom Boardman), chairman of National Westminster Bank, about an investigation by the serious fraud squad over the issue of shares in the Blue Arrow employment agency. The share issue flopped but Nat West concealed the extent of the crash from the stock market by taking a huge stake in the company itself.
