Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that one of the problems with British business has been a lower propensity to invest than some of our counterparts in the rest of the world and that that is partly due to the immense pressure on publicly quoted businesses to pay out larger dividends than in other countries? Does he also agree that any measures to level the playing field and encourage investment benefit our prosperity and pensioners over a longer period?
