Labour call for exec pay disclosure
Labour has called for fuller disclosure on how
fund managers vote on
executive pay, as public anger over directors' high salaries mounts ahead of the annual general meetings of the UK's top companies. The party is proposing an amendment to bring into force powers contained in the 2006 Companies Act. "Making fund managers disclose how they vote on issues will mean the pensioner or the ordinary investor will be in a better position to access information on how votes are cast in their name on matters such as executive pay,"
Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna said in a statement.
