Financial Reporting Council: Annual Reports and Accounts

Lord Broers Excerpts

Monday 14th February 2011 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Wilcox]

That is a little wide of the Question and I do not have the information with me. As I said, we are having a wide-ranging discussion ourselves and will report back at the end of March. I have no doubt that there will be a reference to it there.

[Lord Broers]

Does the Minister agree with me that if somebody is trying to hide something in a long document, it is far, far easier to find it by searching a digital document than by paging through pages and pages?

[Baroness Wilcox]

My Lords, that is a fine engineering suggestion and I am absolutely sure that some would agree with the noble Lord on it. However, there are others who still prefer to clutch a piece of paper—as I am doing—for safety’s sake.
