Clause 15.—(MEANING OF "THE DIREC- TORS' REPORT" FOR PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 16, 17 AND 19 TO 24.) (Hansard, 19 July 1967)

§ Mr. Jay

I beg to move Amendment No. 165, in page 14, line 31, to leave out 'sections 16, 17 and 19 to 24 of this Act' and to insert: 'the nine next following sections'. This and consequential Amendments are made necessary by the fact that Clause 18, which provides for information about the number of employees and their wages to be disclosed, was added to the Bill in Committee after the Clauses, now numbered 15 to 17 and 19 to 24, concerned with the directors' report, had been considered.

Amendment No. 165 makes the meaning of "directors' report" apply to Clause 18 as it does to the other Clauses. In effect, we have already taken the substantive decision to add information about the number of employees and their wages to the report, and this Amendment is consequential on that.
