I am following my hon. Friend's speech with interest. On the point he just made, do we not stand on the brink of a new wave of sovereign wealth funds introducing new owners to businesses and new employers into this country? Would it not be wrong if, faced with the decision of how to invest in this country, they said, ““If we buy the company, we must consult and give information to the employees, who are protected from unfair dismissal, but if we buy the shares, they won't have those protections””? Is that not his point?
