Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 March 2026

Debate

Companies: Online AGMs

Contribution

The Government are not mandating virtual AGMs and there will be nothing to stop companies holding hybrid AGMs. As the people best placed to make decisions about their businesses, we are giving companies and shareholders the legal certainty to undertake fully virtual AGMs if it is right for them. Many investor groups in favour of hybrid AGMs support fully virtual AGMs in extraordinary circumstances. This legal clarity will provide companies the certainty they need in those situations.
