I am grateful for the hon. Lady's generosity and I shall try not to storm out in a fit of pique.
Does the hon. Lady agree that the fees that the receivers and administrators charge when a company closes are stupendous? They can be up to £760 an hour for an individual member of a company's work force. Does she agree that one of the problems that arise when a company shuts is that a significant proportion of the assets, which the staff would reasonably like to go towards their pensions and paying their debts, go to the receivers?
