The point I would make is surely a legal definition would help to solve that particular issue. I will extend that question. How familiar are any of the folks here in regard to the really successful developments in Scotland over the past number of years? How important have both the existence of their own development units and their own legal definition of an employee-owned enterprise been? They went on a big piece of work educating key supports structures such as solicitors and accountants in terms of what those legal entities mean. How important has that awareness been in regard to helping Scotland to succeed in developing worker co-operatives in particular?
