I will indeed. It is important that we maintain and extend our reputation for being the place in the world where business is done best. We have been able to make that proud boast over the years. The representation of women on boards is of great importance, and we are looking at how we can best encourage companies to move in that direction.
Rebecca Pow (Taunton Deane) (Con)
I welcome this report on corporate governance, but is not one way of improving corporate governance on boards to encourage more women to get on to those boards?
Greg Clark
Yes, it is, and I hope my hon. Friend will welcome the proposals we are making.
