I thank both witnesses for those answers. They are very useful. I wish to emphasise the fact that we have repeatedly seen variations on so-called tactical insolvencies. We have seen at first hand the destruction they caused to the workers at Clerys, La Senza, Paris Bakery, TalkTalk and Debenhams. I am particularly interested in asking Mr. Hurley from Eurofound to tell us a little more about how collective redundancies are dealt with by our European neighbours. Will he give some broader examples of what constitutes best practice in this particular area?
