Part of Co-operatives and CommunityBenefit Societies Bill – in a Public Bill Committee am 3:45 pm ar 18 Mawrth 2003.
I strongly support the hon. Gentleman's suggestion. He has approached the matter in the right way by presenting it as a subject for discussion rather than as an amendment. I have no problem with the idea that we should change the title
of the legislation. The term ''industrial and provident society'' was probably outdated when the 1965 Act came in—it certainly was last year—and I support change at the appropriate time.
