Mr. Austin Mitchell
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals he has to lighten the annual accounting and auditing burdens on small companies.
Mr. Redwood
I refer to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Faversham (Mr. Moate) on 21 January 1992, Official Report, column 131. The Government remain committed to minimising burdens on business. I shall soon announce a new programme of work under the Government's deregulation initiative.
