HC Deb 03 February 1977 vol 925 c254W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what representations he has received from the Committee of London Clearing Bankers concerning the possible closure of the Registry of Business Names.

Mr. Clinton Davis

Abolition of the registry is one of the options now being considered as part of the Government's review of the cost of the Civil Service. Comments were invited from representative users of the registry, including the Committee of London Clearing Bankers, which has indicated its opposition to the proposal.
