I agree that there are local businesses that fulfil a social good, but we do not want people just to decide, ““You know what, I want to set up a business, and because 20% of it is for servicing the local authority, I will be supported.”” I strongly believe that we must draw a distinction between for-profit businesses whose main purpose is rewarding shareholders and businesses that are delivering social goods.
