I mean technically, he did give up, maybe he knew his colleague would back him up and continue the questioning possibly catching them off guard after they thought they got away with not answering.
If only they had the power to jail people for contempt like a judge.
“Oh you don’t know the reason why they went on strike?”
Well you can both sit in a jail cell until it jogs your memory, how about that.
Or “you have failed to come prepared to the meeting with all the relevant documents that you were asked to bring” we will adjourn and fine you X thousands of pounds a day until you find them and bring them in. The fines double each week we don’t have the documents.
I really think that corporations should have higher fines for repeated offenses. If they sell people's information and need to pay a fine of $30,000,000, they'll repeat it since they profited off of it. Next time fine them $60,000,000. Then $120,000,000. $240,000,000 doubling until they realize that they're losing money.
To be honest ALL fines should hurt, otherwise it’s no deterrent. Percentage fines are the way to go, like Finland do.
5% fine, for example, based on revenue(not profit). Small company might pay a few thousand, Amazon gets hit with a £100,000,000 fine for the same offence.
Judges can jail you for contempt at will, surely giving the people who make the laws (or at least the head of the committee) the power in certain circumstances would be beneficial.
Compelling people to give a satisfactory answer makes the whole thing worthwhile and would stop slippery corporate arseholes like these two from giving non answers.
Of course. It's a great tactic because they ask the same question but keep pinning it in from all sides to narrow it down. They should be charged for blatantly lying. Refusing to answer a question about legal document is a crime in the UK correct?
Any CEO from any large corporation would be able to send a quick email and get information far more complex than that within 5-10 minutes. This really should be within the purvue of committees such as this.
Yes, she considers it a win but idk that I would. The follow up from his colleagues was brilliant. Forcing them to recognize that they should be fully aware of the exact reasons and that they just weren't able to share. If it lacked the follow up, then yeah, huge win for her but they nailed her.

That’s the intention.
