§ Mr. Higginsasked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he is satisfied with progress on proposals to strengthen disciplinary procedures in the accountancy profession.
§ Mr. EyreImplementation of the proposals is a matter for the accountancy profession itself. I understand that if the profession votes in favour of the proposals they would be implemented early in 1980. The Government, who are following developments with sympathetic interest, recognise the sense of responsibility and self-discipline evidenced by the proposals, and would welcome widespread support by the members of the profession.
