Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

I thought for one moment that there was a sort of knee-jerk reaction whenever the European Commission was mentioned, so I am very glad to hear that the noble Baroness does not have quite the same views as the noble Lords, Lord Stoddart or Lord Tebbit. As has been pointed out, it is inevitable that the Government should take notice of what the European Commission says, but in the mean time it is right that they should negotiate about the particular points. I agree with the noble Baroness.
