HC Deb 20 February 1890 vol 341 c848

Order of the Day for Second Reading read.

THE PRESIDENT or THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

This Bill, which contains only one clause, has been prepared in accordance with the unanimous recommendation of a Committee which sat last year, under the presidency of Lord Herschell, the hon. and learned Member for Stockton being also a Member of the Committee. The object of the measure is to enable companies, with the leave of the High Court, to alter their Memoranda of Association. I hope the House will allow the Second Reading to be taken now, as the Bill simply carries out the recommendation of the Committee.

DR. TANNER

I object.

Second Reading deferred till Tomorrow.
