Nationalisation - how would it work?
At its party conference, Labour announced it wanted to nationalise a range of industries. How would the plans work?
At its annual conference in Liverpool this week, the Labour party set out plans to nationalise a large range of industries that previous governments had sold off. The industries it wants to bring back into public ownership include water, rail, energy and the Royal Mail. But how would Labour鈥檚 ideas work? And what would the process be for implementing them? David Aaronovitch and his guests discuss.
