This is wild reading. The UK has tied its own hands in its ability to police these practices? This smells like a case where some pro-corporation lawyer wrote the original rules and put in a bunch of pointless constraints to make the process as difficult and cumbersome for the government as possible. For one thing the study period is 18 months? That seems like way too long. And all the procedural hurdles just seem busted. God I feel bad for the people working on this it's pretty obvious they'll never be able to overcome these barriers.
