HC Deb 18 February 1930 vol 235 c1177W
Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of cases in which a company director is by alteration of articles of association redescribed as a managing director, in order to escape the obligation, under Section 128 (1) (c) of the Companies Act, 1929, to disclose his remuneration; and whether, as a result of this evasion of the intention of the Act, he will consider amending the law so as to remedy the flaw in the Act thus disclosed?
