Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) 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]
The Secretary of State seems to accept that many people increasingly take social and environmental factors into account in their purchasing and investment decisions—I am sure that that is backed up by the contents of our postbags—so it is vital that people have clear information. However, does he not also accept that the Government have missed a huge opportunity in abandoning OFRs in favour of the business review? The business review is much narrower, applies to far fewer companies and will not be subject to the clear mandatory standards that would allow consumers to compare like with like.
