Abstract

Since the Labour party announced plans to bring the water companies and the electricity and gas transmission and distribution companies, and Royal Mail, into public ownership, there have been claims by the CBI, the Social Market Foundation (SMF) and others about:
- The cost of compensation
- the impact this would have on pension funds or employees which own shares in these companies, and
- the risk of claims by foreign owners under international treaties, e.g. Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs).
This paper on pension funds and employees is the second of three reports by PSIRU addressing these issues.
