HC Deb 13 March 1992 vol 205 c777W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has opposing the environmental disclosures in annual corporate reports.

Mr. Redwood

The Confederation of British Industry and the Association of British Insurers made representations expressing reservations on the practicability of a recent private Member's Bill, the Corporate Safety and Environmental Information Bill, which, among other things, would have required publication of certain environmental impact information in the directors' report.
