The minister for company law,
Dr Ian Pearson, has explained - in a written ministerial statement available
here - that several provisions within the
Companies Act (2006) will not be brought into force: sections
327(2)(c),
330(6)(c),
1175 (as it applies to Northern Ireland) and
Part 2 of Schedule 9. The reasons for not implementing these provisions are given in the
ministerial statement. The minister has also laid before Parliament the eighth commencement order, a copy of which will, very shortly, be published
here. This will bring into force the remaining provisions of the 2006 Act on 1 October 2009. An updated commencement timetable has also been published: see
here.
Update (12 November 2008): a copy of the eighth commencement order is available
here (HTML) and
here (PDF). An exaplanatory memorandum is available
here.
