  The LSE and its executives are kegally responsible for overseeing listed companies and ensuring compliance with laws prohibiting the trade of goods produced through forced labour. This includes fines and even prison sentence if they fail to do so.

    I agree on paper. But we’ve seen many time before “legally responsible” isn’t really a deterrent for some people in society. If there’s money to be made, made it will be!

    All I’m saying is that if they suddenly approve the listing after the chancellor returns despite the lack of transparency I will not be surprised in the slightest.

    What is supposed to happen and what typically happens when money is involved are not the same thing.
