HC Deb 30 May 1938 vol 336 cc1747-8

Lords Amendment: In page 5, line 3, at the end, insert: and any person registered in the Commission's register as carrying on a designated business shall, whenever requested in writing by the Commission so to do, make to the Commission a written declaration stating whether or not he is carrying on that business as a nominee of another person, and, if so, specifying the name of that other person.

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

My hon. Friend the Member for North Aberdeen (Mr. Garro Jones), in the course of our Committee discussions, drew attention to the desirability of enabling the Commission, when compiling this register, to ascertain whether the person carrying on business was really the proprietor of the business or whether he was carrying it on for another person. I promised to consider the point, and this Amendment has been brought forward as a result.

Subsequent Lords Amendment in page 5, line 17, agreed to.
