HC Deb 12 December 1994 vol 251 cc448-9W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Prime Minister what consideration he is giving to how shareholders might be given additional powers to influence boardroom pay and perks.

The Prime Minister

Shareholders are already able to influence directors' remuneration. The Government are always ready to consider ideas for improving shareholders' powers or the information which is made available to them. It was announced in the White Paper on competitiveness—CM 2563—that the Government have been reviewing a number of aspects of company law, including directors' duties.
