Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am very glad that the Minister said that final sentence, because I shall now modify the tone of my closing remarks. I ask him to look again at the examples that I gave. It is not a question of whether the company could set up business continuity arrangements; it is a question of how it prioritises when major events occur. If the Minister has ever seen business continuity plans, which are usually very extensive, he will know that they carry cost—sometimes very significant cost, especially when they relate to backup IT facilities. There is no doubt about that. I am just asking the Government to reflect on whether they insist on gold-plating this requirement. However, I was pleased to hear what the Minister said at the end and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 414 [Right of member or debenture holder to copies of accounts and reports: unquoted companies]:
