HC Deb 03 June 1965 vol 713 c249W
49. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the grounds on which he has refused permission to the Dominion Life Assurance Company to work in this country in the name under which it has been known in Canada for 75 years.

Mr. Jay

This Canadian company was refused permission to register a company by the name it proposed, as the name was too like that of an existing company registered here. I have no power to prevent an overseas company from working in this country in its own name.
