Clause 22
Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Solicitor General (Also Shadow Minister for Trade and Industry), Law Officers (Assist the Home Affairs Team); Huntingdon, Conservative)
Mr. Bercow, I welcome you to the Chair. I understand that it is your first Bill Committee, and what a Committee to be put on. I was trying to think of some relevant Chinese proverb, but it is highly interesting, and all good stuff. We welcome you, and I am sure that you will make an excellent Chairman.
We were discussing clauses 22, 23 and 24 at some length. I tend to agree with the Minister. During some of her last remarks, we started to turn the wheel around again, so I do not intend to go on at length. We have made clear our objections not only to the mechanics, but to the principle of clause 22. For that reason, I will recommend to my hon. Friends that we vote against clause stand part.
