| Summary: |  This letter to Rt Hon Alistair Darling outlines the concerns of the Sustainable Development Commission over the scope of the directors’ duties set out in clause 173 of the Bill.In our view the scope of the directors’ duties does not adequately reflect the commitment on corporate social responsibility given in “Securing the Future”, the UK Government’s sustainable development strategy. |
