Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the Minister. I accept that, but for parliamentary draftsmen to say that inserting ““the registrar had”” power is making it less clear, by making it implicit that somebody else might have the power, seems to fly in the face of reality. This is a practitioner point, in that it looks as though the clause could go wider than the Minister says that the Government intend. We thought we would make up for that. We are obviously not going to argue about this today, but I hope the Government will think carefully about it, because clarity is important. In the meantime, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 705 agreed to.
