Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Companies Bill (HL).

Companies Bill [Lords]

I am sorry, but we are running out of time. This cost has the huge benefit of creating a level playing field for competitors to give an accurate picture of how revenue and profits have been achieved. That, in turn, will affect the perception of their product or service to customers and investors alike. It is a virtue on which the company literally can trade. I therefore respectfully request hon. Members to support new clause 1 and new clause 75.
