HC Deb 04 May 1999 vol 330 c325W
Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will ask the Law Commission to investigate ways of reversing the effects of the House of Lords' decision in the Caparo judgment. [82930]

Mr. Ian McCartney

I have no plans to do so. However, the question of auditors' duties and responsibilities is an important issue which we need to keep under review and will be addressed within the Company Law Review which is due to report in the Spring of 2001.
