§ 57. Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to require foreign-based companies, firms or other organisations to notify his Department of their intention to establish offices in this country, whether or not the office is administered by a British subject.
§ Mr. NobleUnder Part 10 of the Companies Act, 1948, a company incorporated outside Great Britain must file particulars with the Registrar of Companies within one month of establishing a place of business in this country.
Unincorporated associations formed outside the United Kingdom with a view to profit and having a place of business here must register a business name under the Registration of Business Names Act, 1916. I see no need for these provisions to be expanded.
