§ 6. Mr. HANNONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can indicate the approximate date of the introduction of the Bill dealing with the amendment and consolidation of company law?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI hope it may be possible to introduce a Bill in another place in the course of the next few weeks. The present Bill will be an amending Bill. Consolidation can more conveniently be undertaken in a subsequent Measure.
§ Mr. A. V. ALEXANDERHas the right hon. Gentleman consulted the various industries concerned who gave evidence before the drafting of the Bill?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERA certain number of people did ask to see me, but the hon. Member will remember that every conceivable interest gave evidence before the Committee.
§ Mr. HANNONWill the Bill generally be on the lines of the recommendations of the Committee?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERYes, certainly.
