Justin Madders
The reason why we are putting so many amendments down is because we have been consulting and working with businesses, and that is why we have so much to say today. It was a Labour party commitment to launch an Employment Rights Bill within 100 days of taking office, and I am proud that we have delivered on that commitment and that we have this Bill here today.
Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) (Con)
In that consultation, how many small businesses expressed their support for the Bill?
Justin Madders
I refer the right hon. Member to our departmental press release, where at least half a dozen business representatives and businesses have expressed support, and of course, there are many more businesses out there. Indeed, I visited one only recently that supported the Bill.

My hon. Friend is right that we need to give the business community confidence that decisions will be made quickly to provide certainty, so that it can move forward with investments for the benefit of the whole economy.

What will be the impact on growth of a record number of millionaires having left the UK since the Budget?
Justin Madders
That is a very interesting question. I am not sure that the CMA’s role is to monitor the number of millionaires leaving the country.
