HC Deb 20 November 1972 vol 846 c293W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to make it illegal for any person to become a director of a public liability company if he has been convicted of a criminal charge without publicly disclosing the facts to the shareholders of the company to which he seeks election or appointment to the board of directors.

Mr. Peter Walker

I will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind in my review of company law.
