UK: the narrative reporting framework - update from BIS

Last year the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills published a consultation paper setting out proposals for a new narrative reporting framework (here, pdf). In a short statement published this week on the narrative reporting page of its website, BIS announced that its initial analysis showed support for its proposed changes. The changes will not, however, come into force in October 2012 as originally planned but in April 2013. A formal response to the consultation will be published next month.
