Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Company Law Reform Bill [HL].


Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

My Lords, the Minister will not be surprised to find that I am disappointed by his reply. I would like to make one point in response. He claimed that Clauses 411 and 412 already include the most important financial information. That is not true: they do not include trading updates, interim statements or profit warnings. These information requirements are seriously deficient in providing the most relevant financial information to companies. I will read carefully what the Minister said and consult further with the UK Shareholders Association, which I know feels strongly that further information should be made available. For today I shall beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 213 not moved.] Clause 413 [Requirements as to website availability]:
