On 4 July 2016, the FCA published its quarterly consultation paper. Amongst other things, the FCA proposes the introduction of a new DTR (7.2.8AR) which sets out the new corporate governance statement requirement for issuers to disclose their diversity policy in the corporate governance statement. Small and medium-sized issuers would be exempt; as would listed companies that are obliged to comply with DTR 7.2 as if they were an issuer to which DTR 7.2 applies.
The consultation period closed on 1 September 2016 and the consultation paper can be accessed here:
