I agree entirely with the hon. Gentleman. I shall read out the recent result of a survey. It reads:"““London has been named the best European city in which to locate a business for the 16th year in succession.””"
That is according to an annual survey."““The United Kingdom capital has also increased its lead over second place Paris and third place Frankfurt.””"
That is what the latest European Cities Monitor shows. London came top in five of the 12 categories questioned in the survey, including the quality of staff. Any suggestion that there is any undermining of flair and innovation by the Government’s policies, economic or social, is arrant nonsense.
