Clause 74
Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]
1:30 pm
James Brokenshire (Hornchurch, Conservative)
I moved the amendment because the problem has again been highlighted by the CBI, so it is clearly of concern. While I recognise that we are covering ground that may have been covered before in another place, if something is of concern it is the duty of the Opposition to continue to highlight it in Committee. I note what the Minister said, but it is our duty to ensure that problems are properly highlighted. Although they have been discussed in another place, it is still important that we have an opportunity to debate them after reflecting on the changes that were made to the Bill there and in the context of debates on Second Reading in this House. While I note that the Minister is not prepared to give ground, it is important that we retain that opportunity and that I do not feel fettered in raising issues that have been raised elsewhere. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
