HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 c397W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will seek to amend the Registration of Business Names Act, 1916 so that a person who changes his name by deed poll should no longer be required to declare his former name on a business letter until 20 years have elapsed since the change of name took place.

Mr. Noble

The suggestion will be borne in mind in the current review of company law.
