Proceeding contribution from Lord Sainsbury of Turville (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Company Law Reform Bill [HL].

Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

We understand the noble Lord’s concerns and we too are keen to encourage a high take-up of website communications. However, in effect, the relevant paragraph simply calls for companies to take reasonable steps to prevent or avoid foreseeable disruptions in website availability. This is the same as the approach in the few provisions on website communications in the 1985 Act (for example, Section 369(4D)). We think that this approach is fair and strikes the right balance between the interests of the company and the interests of the members. I therefore hope the noble Lord will withdraw the amendment.
