§ Mr. David Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all Acts of Parliament for which his Department is responsible that require companies to disclose information, stating under each Act what information has to be disclosed, how, by when, and to whom.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesNo Act for which the Home Office is responsible requires companies generally to disclose information. There are, however, numerous legislative provisions—the application of which is not restricted to companies—under which information may be required for a specific purpose, such as in connection with a particular licence application.
