I do not have much experience of business meetings, but I know that many annual meetings are a great problem for people to attend. The principle behind the amendment is right: the LBRO should be open to public consultation and to public knowledge. I wish the noble Lord had proposed a website, a cyber meeting or a virtual annual meeting, which would be a much more efficient way of doing this. People running small businesses do not really have time to get down to London or Cardiff to listen to the LBRO. It is a good idea, but perhaps one should think more creatively about how we can have much more consultation between the public and the LBRO.
