It reads like a cry from a capitalist heart. Away with restrictions which hinder profit accumulation etc.
Confirmatio in a piece in today's Times that what appears in Hansard is not necessarily what a MP actually said but rather what they meant to say:
Quote:Hansard reporters, of course, have long "improved" the language of British politicians. One Hansardista recalled a speech by an elderly Tory in which she could make out only two words clearly: "cold war". The rest of his oration was gibberish but she created what she thought was his argument and sent it down for his approval. His only change was to capitalise cold and war.
