Subsidy Control Bill

Proceeding contribution from Seema Malhotra (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 April 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Subsidy Control Bill.

I am conscious of time, but let me make this brief point, for clarity. There is an important distinction between companies or businesses with which the Government may be working to achieve policy objectives, and their eligibility still to receive public subsidies, potentially to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds or millions, where they have explicitly even admitted to this House that they have broken employment law. There is an important distinction here about how public money could be spent and about rewarding those who have behaved badly.
