I wish to raise an issue of interest to the Minister. Am I correct, Chairman, that we await the draft statutory instrument on corporate sustainability reporting? The final deadline is 6 July. Obviously this committee would like the relevant sectoral committee to be given time. We have asked the Secretary General of the relevant Department to come in. The SI relates to environment issues, which are issues all close to the heart of the Minister. We asked officials from the relevant Department whether any of the four big accountancy and auditing companies carried out lobbying about the wording and phraseology. I would be surprised and amazed if there was not.
