I would be very happy to be intervened on if there are any real business groups—not the Institute for Public Policy Research or the TUC, but real business groups—that the Minister or anyone else would like to cite in defence of this Bill and that supports it in its current form. I am all ears, because that is not true of the Federation of Small Businesses, the British Chambers of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry, Make UK, the Institute of Directors, UKHospitality, the British Retail Consortium and so many more.
Rachel Gilmour (Tiverton and Minehead) (LD)
The answer to that question is the Chartered Management Institute.
Andrew Griffith
Well, I am glad we have found one; I have not had any representations from it.
