(asked on 8th February 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will publish the documents referred to in the article in The Times ‘Standards board ‘looks like a cabal’’, published on 7 February.
Answered by
Lord Callanan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The organisations referred to in these questions - the UK Endorsement Board (UKEB), the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) – are responsible for procuring their own legal advice. The FRC which facilitates the UKEB is an arm’s length body which reports annually to the Department on how it has carried out responsibilities under its remit. The ICAEW is an independent organisation.
The issue of whether to publish legal advice is for the respective organisations to consider.
