HC Deb 03 December 1959 vol 614 c146W
54. Mr. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take the necessary steps to prevent any company being registered with a name including the word "bank" without his special permission.

Mr. Erroll

Since the Companies Act of 1947 it has been the policy of the Board of Trade not to allow a company to be registered with a name including the word "bank" unless the facts justify its use.
