HC Deb 11 March 1964 vol 691 c71W
Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what study his Department is making of the findings of the Jenkins Committee on Company Law, which were published in June, 1962; and when these studies will be completed.

Mr. Heath

The Committee made over 400 recommendations affecting many important aspects of company law. My Department in consultation with others concerned, has been closely engaged in examining these recommendations, and I hope that before the end of the Session I shall be able to inform the House of the Government's proposals on the principal issues that the Committee has raised.
