HC Deb 27 June 1983 vol 44 c15W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) whether he will introduce legislation to prohibit the change of a company's name before putting that company into liquidation so that the original name may be used to start a new business, with or without a variation thereto;

(2) whether he will introduce legislation to require that creditors of a company to be put into liquidation are informed of the company's previous names as well as of the name used at the date of liquidation.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

I will consider the hon. and learned Member's suggestions as part of my study of Sir Kenneth Cork's report on insolvency Law and practice.
