Manufacturing is vital to the UK economy and Government are taking action through the Manufacturing Strategy to help manufacturers in all parts of the UK to move to high value added production through the application of science and innovation, best practice and skills development. We work closely with colleagues at the Welsh Assembly on these matters. For example, we have set up the Manufacturing Advisory Service which has generated £213 million of added value throughout the UK, including £15 million in Wales.

The Northwest Regional Development Agency is working with Blackpool borough council to retain TVR within the immediate vicinity. They are working on the latest requirements outlined by the company. A previous specific offer of new premises was rejected and a more suitable location has now been identified. TVR has indicated that this offer is more in line with their future operational requirements and further discussions will take place next week, when Mr.Smolenski, the owner of TVR, next visits Blackpool.

[holding answer 3 May 2006]: The Company Law Reform Bill contains a power to enable my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State through secondary legislation, to prescribe, stand-alone model articles for different types of company. The model articles are to replace the Companies Act 1985 Table A for companies formed under the Bill and we intend to make sure that regulations made under this power will be in place by the time that the Bill comes into force.A draft of the model articles for private companies limited by shares, and draft guidance notes on those model articles, was published in the March 2005 White Paper and we will shortly publish a draft of the model articles for public companies. We will then turn to the draft model articles for private companies limited by guarantee.We look forward to receiving comments on the draft model articles for public companies and are working with interested parties to make sure that the final versions of the various model articles are both useful and relevant to people who rely on the model articles: the owners and managers of companies. There will be full public consultation before regulations are made.

[holding answer 2 May 2006]: Yesterday we laid amendments to Chapter 6, Part 15 of the Bill in order to give effect to changes to the content of companies' business reviews. As part of our proposals, we also intend to clarify the position on liability for disclosures under the Companies Act and for implementation of the EU Transparency Obligations Directive. Draft clauses on a proposed regime for liability have been published via the DTI website (at http://www.dti.gov.uk/cld/facts/clr.htm) for a short period for public comment. This package of proposals represents consistent and balanced policy after considering carefully the responses to the consultation and engaging in discussion with interested parties on the whole range of options for narrative reporting.The requirements for narrative reporting have been streamlined so that the requirements for quoted companies are closely aligned to those for unquoted companies. The proposed new narrative reporting arrangements include the requirement that all companies will need to produce a business review, as required by the EU Accounts Modernisation Directive. The amendments make clear that the purpose of the review is to inform shareholders of the company and help them assess how the directors have performed their duty under section 156 (duty to promote the success of the company). Quoted companies will need to ensure that, to the extent necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the company's business, their business review includes:"(a) the main trends and factors likely to affect the future development, performance and position of the company's business; and""(b) information about:""(i) environmental matters (including the impact of the company's business on the environment),""(ii) the company's employees, and (iii) social and community issues, including information about any policies of the company in relation to those matters and the effectiveness of those policies.""Directors will need to state in their Review if they do not think it necessary to include information about (i), (ii) or (iii) above."The new system will also mean that for all companies:"Auditors will continue to be required to report on the consistency of the directors' report with the annual accounts (as is required by the Accounts Modernisation Directive) but there will not be any additional requirement to check for other inconsistencies;""All companies will be exempted from disclosing in the business review information which is seriously prejudicial to the company's interests. This exemption was previously only provided for companies that had to produce an OFR; and""There will be no statutory reporting standards for the Business Review."The draft clauses on liability cover:"Provision for liability under Part 15 of the Bill for directors' reports, directors' remuneration reports or summary financial statements derived from them;""Provision for liability for disclosures under Transparency Obligations Directive implementation;""Liability for untrue or misleading statements or omissions made in bad faith or recklessly or where there is deliberate and dishonest concealment."The Government's aim has always been to encourage meaningful strategic, forward-looking information to assist shareholder engagement, while avoiding disproportionate burdens on business. The Government have decided that the additional burden imposed by the statutory OFR requirement is not justified in light of the competitiveness of UK businesses. The changes to narrative reporting requirements announced yesterday will add value to the quality of reporting without imposing unnecessary costs.

That is one of the topics that I discussed with the umbrella organisations this week, and the engagement of the representative bodies and trade associations acknowledges the importance of such improvement.

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (2002/5 8/EC) applies a number of privacy safeguards to value added services based on traffic and location data, including a requirement for informed consent from subscribers or users of the communications service involved. In the case of location data services, there is a requirement that subscribers or users must be able to withdraw their consent on a temporary as well as a long term basis, each time they connect to the network or make a phone call or other form of communication. The directive was implemented in the UK by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, which came into force on 11 December 2003.Mobile phone location services are regulated under the Privacy and Electronic Communication (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and the Data Protection Act 1998. Enforcement is the responsibility of the Information Commissioner. My officials will be working closely with the Information Commissioner's Office to consider any issues as they arise. They are aware of concerns raised by representatives of Children's Charities and will be arranging meetings to discuss these further.

As far as skills are concerned, the London Development Agency and other regional development agencies are working closely with skills organisations. Where a lot of construction is likely to happen, such as in the area of the Olympics, skills training and encouragement will be necessary to ensure that our people can compete for such jobs. Again, I am impressed with the industry's leadership in that. Only last week, I joined the Prince's Trust and industry leaders to launch an initiative aimed at increasing the number of young people from more disadvantaged backgrounds who come into the industry, as well as encouraging people with the talent to lead to come into the construction industry. I acknowledge the importance of the issue.

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for that full and accurate reply. The aerospace industry is critical to manufacturing. It produces at the cutting edge of technology and contributes hugely to our exports. Will he ensure that his colleagues in the Ministry of Defence are aware of the importance of the MRA4 project to British Aerospace at Woodford? If the order could be placed as soon as possible, that would be helpful to the industry. Will he also accept, on behalf of the Minister for Energy, the hon. Member for Croydon, North (Malcolm Wicks), a visit from me and a company in my constituency, Senior Aerospace, which is currently in some difficulty with health and safety? The Minister is aware of that. It is critical to the survival of that company for it to be able continue its operation.

[holding answer 2 May 2006]: The new procurement directives, simplify, clarify and modernise public procurement procedures. These were implemented in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2006. There are new provisions on framework agreements, competitive dialogue for complex procurements, central purchasing bodies and electronic procurement methods such as e-auctions and dynamic purchasing systems.The directives allow contracts to be reserved for supported factories and businesses, and provide greater clarity on the extent to which social and environmental issues can be incorporated into procurements. There is also a requirement for the mandatory exclusion of companies that have been convicted of offences related to fraud and corruption. The rules applying to purchases by utilities now incorporate an exclusion mechanism where a sector is subject to normal competition.Concerning the effects on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the new directives, and the regulations that implement them, apply rules directly to purchasers rather than to suppliers. There are, therefore, no compliance costs to business from these new rules. The new procurement methods that the rules provide for, including electronic systems, together with the simpler and clearer rules generally, reduce the burdens of the procurement process and should encourage suppliers, including SMEs, to participate in public procurement opportunities either directly or as sub contractor.
