My hon. Friend is making an interesting point. One of the great disadvantages of TUPE, where it applies, is the fact that there is enormous uncertainty for the work force during the period of the takeover, or the change of equity owner in the circumstances that he describes. What does he make of the report in this morning's Financial Times that the CBI says that one of the reasons for not making this change is that it would increase uncertainty for companies? Would it not in fact give them greater certainty?
