asserted
best → stop → economy
“So we are looking at changing this.

we → look → this
They are often held back and unpaid during the time they have to sit out on the sidelines, and it does, as I say, stunt innovation and traps workers.

clauses → confirm → ups
“Call it, if you like, the Bosman ruling for the innovation sector, but I think it’s needed and long overdue.

asserted
workers → ensure → jobs

asserted
we → say → it
