§ Mr. Rostasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received from the Stock Exchange and other City of London institutions about the decision to move Companies House from London to Cardiff.
§ Sir G. HoweThe views of the major users of Companies House were sought before the decision to move was taken; since the decision was announced, representations have been received from the Stock Exchange, jointly from the Law Society and the City of London Solicitors Company, and from the Holborn Law Society. Some individuals and individual firms have also made representations. My Department is arranging to discuss with the main bodies concerned how their needs can best be met in the context of the dispersal plan.
