Private Equity (Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment) Bill

Surely the first point is to discuss to whom the Bill applies. The long title of the Bill refers to ““private equity companies””. Normally, we know what we are talking about when legislating, because it is defined in the Bill, but the phrase ““private equity companies”” is not defined in this Bill. We have not even passed the first hurdle: knowing to which group of companies the legislation would apply.
