Proceeding contribution from Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 1 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Company Law Reform Bill [HL].


Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 300W:"Page 146, line 24, at end insert ““or records made pursuant to section 330(2)””" The noble Lord said: Clause 329 concerns the record of resolutions and meetings. We note that companies will be obliged to keep records comprising copies of resolutions passed other than at a general meeting—for example, resolutions in writing. It would be helpful if those two sections could clarify what must be kept as a record where a written resolution is signed by a member and returned to the company electronically as envisaged by Clause 272. Clause 330(2) seems to indicate that a print of a resolution signed by a director or company secretary will be evidence that a resolution has been passed. That seems to conflict with the reference to ““copies of all resolutions”” in Clause 329(1)(a). The amendment seeks to align the two by requiring companies to keep records made pursuant to Clause 330(2). I beg to move.
