Examination of Witnesses (Questions 40-41)
MR MICHAEL
ROBERTS AND
MS GILLIAN
SIMMONDS
5 JULY 2006
Q40 Mr Chaytor: Is this something
that the CBI is actively promoting to its members or is it just
the unilateral action of individual companies?
Mr Roberts: To be fair, our focus
in life is much more on the public policy agenda, and that is
what our members pay us to do and expect us to do, to have this
sort of conversation that we are having this afternoon, and we
certainly try to help promote awareness of what businesses are
doing in the way I have just done in answering your question,
but I would not say, to be fair that—
Q41 Mr Chaytor: Disseminating best
practice.
Mr Roberts: We do that up to a
point, but I would not want to over egg the pudding.
Chairman: Thank you very much indeed.
It was a very useful discussion. We are grateful to you for coming
in.
