Contribution

My Lords, the Government announced on 20 January that fully virtual annual general meetings would be included in the upcoming consultation on modernising corporate reporting. Officials are engaging with investors and businesses on the practicalities of this. We will ensure that fully virtual meetings take place only where shareholders agree and that any change is accompanied by appropriate shareholder safeguards, co-created with investors and business. A full assessment will be made following the consultation and engagement period.
