§ 1. Major BARNETTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether further representations have been made to him with reference to the application of a responsible body of traders for leave to register the St. Pancras Chamber of Commerce as an association not for profit and limited by guarantee without the word "Limited" in its Title; and, if so, whether he will now reconsider his decision on the subject?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir A. Geddes)The answer to the first part of this question is in the affirmative. The multiplication of Chambers of Commerce for the purpose of representing commercial interests in limited areas would, in my opinion, weaken the representation of commercial interests as a whole, and I do not therefore think it desirable to grant a licence for the registration of the St. Pancras Chamber of Commerce with limited liability without the word "Limited."
§ Major BARNETTIn view of the unsatisfactory answer, I beg to give notice that I shall take an early opportunity of raising the question.
