§ Mr. Cadburyasked the Secretary of State for Trade why his Department exempted the Bradford Exchange Limited, of 24–28 London Road, Wembley, Middlesex, from listing its directors on its letterhead as required under section 201 of the Companies Act 1948.
§ Mr. EyreExemptions may be granted where
special circumstances … render it … expedient".They are given in cases where frequent changes of director would lead to unacceptable printing expenses and in cases where the disclosure of particular directors' names could adversely affect the commercial interest of the company. It is not the practice to indicate which reason applies in a particular case.
