This is an issue of company law. Clearly, there is a far wider debate at issue than a breach of employment law. We are dealing with the enforcement of employment law at the moment. I cannot accept the amendment, but I believe the principles of company law would have to be respected. Any amendment from the Deputy seeking changes in company law would have to be drafted within the understanding of company law. While I understand what the Deputy is getting at, it is not something I can agree to.
