Level playing fields are fine if they are fair. It is surely not the Government’s objective to level a playing field with an unfair system. Its objective must be to have a fair system and then level the playing field.
I do not suggest this should be limited to any one sector. Transparency, honesty and openness should apply in all sectors. We should seek to maximise the rights of consumers, suppliers and workers in this Bill over those of multiples.
