Clause 58
Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]
9:30 am
James Brokenshire (Hornchurch, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister for that explanation of the background and the requirements associated with the clause. In the light of her comments, I recognise the need for the provisions. My comments were really intended to gauge the background and to gain a full understanding of the requirements, and I made them in the spirit of seeking to avoid additional regulation where it is not required. However, I have listened carefully to the Minister’s comments about the problems that Companies House faces in dealing with new names and about the way in which things are changing, and I shall not be questioning the inclusion of the clause in the Bill.
