HC Deb 16 February 1976 vol 905 cc505-6W
Mr. Hannam

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if, in the next revision of the Companies Acts, he will incorporate a provision that all companies shall be assumed to have power to make donations to charities unless such a power is expressly excluded.

Mr. Clinton Davis

I shall be examining the powers and responsibilities of companies as part of the general review of company law which is being undertaken by my Department, and I will consider the question of donations to charity in this context.
