Companies (No. 2) Bill

HC Deb 21 May 1981 vol 5 cc134-5W

Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, if he will list those provisions of the Companies (No. 2) Bill [Lords] that flow directly from European legislation, detailing the relevant European measure in each case.

Mr. Eyre

[pursuant to his reply, 20 May 1981, c. 85]: The provisions of the Bill which flow directly from European Community legislation are part I, clause 57, schedule 1 and schedule 2, which are required in order to implement the Fourth Council Directive of 25 July 1978 on the annual accounts of certain types of companies (78/660/EEC).
