§ 108. Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will seek powers to establish the introduction of pollution auditors to seek to ensure that anti-social pollution costs are incorporated into company financial accounting.
§ Mr. RidleyNo. The Government can provide in law the matters to be included in the financial accounts of registered companies; and recognised auditors then have regard to those provisions. But these are to declare debts and credits, profits and losses incurred by the company only.
