Although we will not press this to a vote, I hope that the Government realise that we sometimes have no comprehension of how big and important the powers we are up against are, or of how they dominate their own producing companies in every international market. We must wake up to that and understand the real threat, not just to the ability to create but to the ability to exist as who we are. At that point we may come to terms with this. Having listened to the Minister—we have worked together on many issues to do with both Russia and China—I hope the Government will think again and come up with a slightly tighter version in line with the amendment tabled by the hon. Member for Leeds Central and Headingley (Alex Sobel).
