New clause 9 - Application of company accounts
Co-operatives and CommunityBenefit Societies Bill
4:00 pm
Mr Andrew Love (Edmonton, Labour/Co-operative)
I thank my hon. Friend the Minister for her positive and sympathetic assurances about Treasury attitudes to new clauses of this sort. I also thank her for informing us about the outcome of the consultation exercise, which probably reflects the views of industrial and provident societies and of other organisations that took part in the Treasury consultation.
There is great anticipation among Members of Parliament and people in social enterprises, co-operatives and community benefit societies about the result of the consultation process being fulfilled in legislation and I hope that the Minister will be able to introduce the appropriate measures. On that basis, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the motion.
Motion and clause, by leave, withdrawn.
New schedule 1 brought up, read the First and Second time, and added to the Bill.
Bill, as amended, to be reported.
Committee rose at one minute past Four o'clock.
