I do not share the hon. Gentleman’s view about Lord Sainsbury, but the allegation, ““You would say that, wouldn’t you”” could equally be made against Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. As membership organisations, one of their issues is to expand their membership by campaigning. Even a scientist speaking for those organisations has a huge vested interest in taking the line that they take. That accusation should be identified not only with industry and investors, but with pressure groups and NGOs.
