Proceeding contribution from Guy Opperman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 May 2024. It occurred during Backbench debate on Zero-emission Buses.
Zero-emission Buses
I am told that the companies Yutong and BYD are not state-owned. That is the first key point. The second is that there is a degree to which we debate in this House the extent to which the state supports individual companies in their individual country. I take the hon. Gentleman’s point. Clearly, on one simple basis, a worker in China is not paid the rate or salary that a worker in this country is paid, with automatic-enrolment pensions and all the welfare support and other bits that come on top of that. That is clearly a difference in scale. But I want to try to address a couple of the key points.
