Proceeding contribution from Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Company Law Reform Bill [HL].

Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

I am content with these amendments, although I was slightly surprised to see Amendment No. A213 in the group. The new clause before Clause 762 concerns Part 29, ““Companies: Interpretation””, and is entitled ““Hard copy and electronic form and related expressions””. It covers the whole of the Companies Act, and we were surprised to see it debated in this slightly narrower group that relates only to the Takeover Panel. As I read Amendment No. A213, it has ramifications for the entire piece of legislation, all 885 clauses. I was surprised it was brought in at this slightly narrower point, but perhaps I am unduly paranoid.
