  "text": "(1) Subject as follows, it is the duty of the trustee to report to the members of the creditors' committee all such matters as appear to him to be, or as they have indicated to him as being, of concern to them with respect to the bankruptcy.\n(2) In the case of matters so indicated to him by the committee, the trustee need not comply with any request for information where it appears to him that—\n(a) the request is frivolous or unreasonable, or\n(b) the cost of complying would be excessive, having regard to the relative importance of the information, or\n(c) the estate is without funds sufficient for enabling him to comply.\n(3) Where the committee has come into being more than 28 days after the appointment of the trustee, the latter shall report to them, in summary form, what actions he has taken since his appointment, and shall answer such questions as they may put to him regarding his conduct of the bankruptcy hitherto.\n(4) A person who becomes a member of the committee at any time after its first establishment is not entitled to require a report to him by the trustee, otherwise than in summary form, of any matters previously arising.\n(5) Nothing in this Rule disentitles the committee, or any member of it, from having access to the trustee's records of the bankruptcy, or from seeking an explanation of any matter within the committee's responsibility.",
