'written orders for goods or services to be supplied to the business,'The amendment extends the scope of the documents on which the details of persons using a business name must appear to include all written orders for goods or services to be supplied to the business. The amendment arose from a debate in Committee. I appreciate many of the points that were put forward by hon. Members. The amendment represents an improvement to the alternative system, and I hope that it will be welcomed by the hon. Member for Hackney, Central (Mr. Davis).
