§ Mr. Nicholas Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what are his plans for the advisory panel on company law.
§ Mr. Alexander FletcherI have decided to disband the advisory panel on company law because the functions are largely duplicated by the many other sources of advice available to the Department. As a result I am concerned not to waste the valuable time of the members of the panel, most of whom are also involved in advising the Departmen in other capacities. The Department is most fortunate in having advice on company law so readily volunteered by the professions, industry and commerce.
