§ MR. HYDE (Wednesbury)To ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether it is the intention of the Government to proceed further this session with the Companies (Consolidation) Bill.
(Answered by Mr. Churchill.) Yes, Sir, it is the intention of the Government to proceed with the Companies (Consolidation) Bill, and I have every hope that it will pass into law this session. The Bill has undergone careful scrutiny by a very strong Joint Committee of both Houses, and in the form recommended by the Committee it will very shortly be introduced in this House.
