HC Deb 22 October 1973 vol 861 cc355-6W
28. Mr. Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in advance of the implementation of his proposals for company law reform, he will take steps to improve the efficiency of the central companies registry.

Mr. Peter Walker

Action to improve the staff problems and to obtain benefit from computerisation has already been taken. The move of the CRO to a new building with purpose-built file storage in Cardiff will enable us to overcome the considerable recruitment and office problem in London and provide, by means of Microfiche, a far better service in London than has been available in past years.
