Debate between Mark Jenkinson and Matthew Pennycook

Committee stage
Thursday 18th November 2021 Public Bill Committees

[Mark Jenkinson (Workington) (Con)]

Ms Fovargue, I draw the Committee’s attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. It is a matter of public knowledge that I worked in the nuclear industry before my election to this place.

Clause 1

Key definitions for Part 1

[Matthew Pennycook (Greenwich and Woolwich) (Lab)]

I beg to move amendment 1, in clause 1, page 1, line 15, at end insert—

“(6) ‘Owned by a foreign power’ means owned by a company controlled by a foreign state and operating for investment purposes.”

This amendment is a definition of “foreign power” set out in amendment 2.
