HC Deb 10 July 1928 vol 219 c2069W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the United States line is registered under the Business Names Act; and, if not, what action he proposes to take?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. I understand, however, that the business referred to is carried on by United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation, and the Registrar of Companies is at present in communication with the Corporation with a view to their complying with the provisions of Section 274 of the Companies (Consolidation) Act, 1908.
