Companies Bill [Lords]

This has been a very short debate, but is it not clear that the Minister and the hon. Members for Bedford (Patrick Hall) and for Cambridge (David Howarth) have completely different views on how the principles at issue would be construed in a court? So a person like me, who brings an open mind to the matter and wonders whether the proposals would work, is left at a loss. The whole thing is very muddled—and I am left having to say as much in an intervention, as there will not even be time for me to speak in the debate.
