COMPANIES AMENDMENT ORDINANCE,1935.

}

The Attorney General moved the first reading of a Bill intituled "An Ordinance to amend the Companies Ordinance, 1932".

He said: The object of this Bill is to delete from Section 93

sub-section 2 of the Companies Ordinance, 1932, certain words

contained in brackets. These words required China Companies, unlike other companies carrying on business in China, to have six Chinese characters after any translation of their name when

used in Chinese. Other companies are only required to have four. This Bill will put them on the same footing.

The Colonial Secretary seconded, and the Bill was read a

first time.

Objects and Reasons.

follows:

This amending Ordinance deletes a provision in section 93(2) of the Companies Ordinance, 1932 (No. 39 of 1932) which is no longer considered necessary and the deletion of which has been suggested, through H.M. Minister to China, by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
