Limited Liability Companies (Forms)

HC Deb 20 December 1968 vol 775 cc495-6W

Mr. Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity how many forms are required by her Department to be returned by limited liability companies; and whether she will set out a list of such firms in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Hattersley

No forms of inquiry are sent to limited liability companies as such but in their capacity as employers they may receive such forms in connection with the Department's work according to the nature of the inquiry in hand. The detailed information asked for could, therefore, only be obtained at disproportionate cost. So far as statistical forms are concerned, I would draw the hon. Member's attention to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 19th November, 1968.—[Vol. 773, c. 1114.]
