19:56 The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (Jenny Willott)

In addition, we introduced important new reporting requirements in three areas related to the issues that the hon. Lady highlighted. On the environment, companies are now required to report on their greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts. On gender balance, they now need to state the number of men and women on their board, in their senior management team and in the work force as a whole. I know that she has an interest in that issue. Finally, they need to report on human rights issues, which were at the heart of some of the examples that she gave.
