CC - see post 11 :-)

Depending on rules, regulations and method of introduction could lead to an improvement in working conditions and efficiency,

Surely it's impossible to implement?

Say I own a company with a turnover of £100m and employing 250 people.

Will I not just put the shares into Trust and take it off-shore?
