Clause 4 - Annual and other reports
Enterprise Bill
12:30 pm
Mr Tony McWalter (Hemel Hempstead, Labour/Co-operative)
Does not the hon. Gentleman agree that while companies might sometimes have to incur expenditure to comply with the legislation, they may also gain immensely from the existence of fair trading, as unfair traders will be forced to amend their nefarious ways? To comply with the spirit of the hon. Gentleman's amendment would require not only an indication of the costs of compliance but of the benefits that accrue to companies as a result of fair competition.
