Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Companies Bill (HL).

Companies Bill [Lords]

May I make a suggestion to the Solicitor-General that might meet his concern—and also, perhaps, that of my hon. Friend the Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Djanogly)? One could enlarge the test in clause 117(3) so that the court could make an order where the"““copy is not sought for a proper purpose””," or where—we could use a phrase such as ““disclosure””—it would expose individuals to unreasonable risk. So one could build into clause 117 some of the concepts put forward by my hon. Friend, but have the policing done by the courts.
