| Description | Correspondence between the Board of Trade, HM Treasury (HMT) and the Discount Office on applications by companies either to be regarded as banking or discount companies for the purpose of exemption from the accounts provisions of the Companies Acts 1947 and 1948 (Eighth Schedule), or to register names with banking or discount house connotations (under Section 17 of the Companies Act the Board of Trade had power to refuse any name which was in their opinion undesirable). |
