Letter: Jobs at Hanson Trust
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Given that Lord Hanson (Letters, 12 November) is in a position to quantify his comments on the cost on job creation of social legislation from his personal experience, I was surprised that he did not do so.
Perhaps he could estimate for us the amount of jobs he has created (accounting for those that had to go through rationalisation) in the companies he has owned through Hanson Trust on either side of the Atlantic over the past 10 years
or so.
Yours faithfully,
