HC Deb 09 August 1972 vol 842 cc453-4W
Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps have been taken to ensure that no bogus educational establishment is registered under the Registration of Business Names Act; and what action has been taken against bodies trading under the names of bogus educational establishments which are not so registered.

Mr. Noble

An educational establishment which applies to register a business name under the Registration of Business Names Act, 1916 must satisfy the Registrar that the name sought is not undesirable. The Department takes up with such establishments any apparent failure to register a business name under the Act which comes to its attention.
