Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Djanogly (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Companies Bill (HL).

Companies Bill [Lords]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving me the opportunity to explain what he has misconstrued. I mentioned that those were objects of fashion and I repeat that statement. I say that not for the reasons that he gave, but because there are some 650 common law duties, of which these six are part, and the Government have cherry-picked certain duties that they want to put into the Bill. All the duties are equally relevant. I am not saying that the six that the Government have chosen are not relevant; I am saying that they should not be codified.
