National Security and Investment Act 2021

A vote to support means

• —Supporting this Act means believing the government needs stronger powers to protect the UK from foreign threats to important industries like defence, energy, and technology. Supporters argue it helps prevent hostile countries or organisations from secretly buying control of sensitive British businesses that could harm national security.

A vote to oppose means

• —Critics worry the Act gives government too much power to block business deals with little transparency or clear rules. They're concerned it could discourage foreign investment in the UK, harm the economy, and that people affected by decisions won't have enough right to challenge them.
