HC Deb 15 October 1990 vol 177 c679W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will introduce legislation to enable him to disqualify, as a director or a shareholder, any director or owner of a private company found guilty of criminal malpractice.

Mr. Redwood

No. The Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 already provides wide powers allowing the courts to disqualify, where appropriate, a person as director of a company and from being concerned, whether directly or indirectly, in management of a company, whether private of public.
