At this juncture, I declare an interest. I thank the noble Lord, Lord Leigh, for sharing my publishing career with colleagues here. I have had a career in business of more than 45 years, founding and cofounding several business ventures. I learned a lasting truth: thriving teams drive lasting success. I remember, with emotion, the pride when I hired my first employee and, later, my first hundred and then my first thousand. Each was a milestone on a journey built by people. Without these people, I would not be here and would not have run those successful businesses.
