Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Company Law Reform Bill (HL).


Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]

A business review produced under clause 399 by an oil company working in Nigeria, for example, would contain a formal report from the directors to company members, but it would also be available to the public. As I said a moment ago, the fact that companies will have to set out what they are doing and the effect that that is having will focus public attention on their activities. That is very important.
