§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe Kota Kota Society was formed in 1939 as an unregistered co-operative society. In the absence of co-operative societies legislation, which was not enacted until 1946, the Society was converted into a limited company in 1942 and its status has remained unaltered since then. The members of the Society were entirely in favour of the change.
