HC Deb 25 March 1902 vol 105 c991
SIR EDWARD SASSOON

I beg, to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if limited liability enterprises in the United Kingdom can be floated in Jersey and Guernsey where the Joint-Stock Companies Acts do not apply; and, if so, would he consider the expediency of introducing legislation assimilating their law with that of England in the interests of the Inland Revenue.

* THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. RITCHIE,) Croydon

I understand that the state of the law is as suggested in the first paragraph of the question. With regard to the second, if any legislation such as suggested is desirable, it will have to be undertaken by the Island Legislature.
