My task is a fairly light one this afternoon, because in the existing situation there is not the usual desire to speak. I do not think there is a great deal in the speech of the hon. Member for South Battersea (Mr. Bennett) which calls for a reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the fact that last year we passed a Companies Act and this Session we have consolidated the company law legislation in a Bill which, I presume, will receive the Royal Assent this week, and if he will study that legislation he will find out exactly what duties are imposed upon the Registrar. The Registrar can carry out only the duties imposed upon him by Parliament after full consideration.
