HC Deb 27 June 1961 vol 643 c15W
25. Mr. Spriggs

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will introduce legislation to compel all firms to give voting rights to their shareholders.

Mr. N. Macpherson

This matter falls within the terms of reference of the Committee under the chairmanship of Lord Jenkins which is reviewing company law. The Committee have received much evidence bearing on it and my right hon. Friend must await the Committee's report before considering whether there should be legislation.
