§ Mr. Robert BanksTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many new company registrations there have been in Yorkshire and Humberside to the nearest convenient date since 1983.
§ Mr. MaudeThe number of companies which presently have their registered offices in Yorkshire and Humberside and which were incorporated in the period 1983 to 1986 is 15,096. To date 2,499 companies formed during 1987 have registered offices in Yorkshire and Humberside. This figure may change appreciably over the next few months 23W as many companies are bought off-the-shelf from registration agents and their address in this early period is therefore the address of these agents.
