There must be many people in positions of prominence in similar situations. Surely such people as TU leaders, industrialists, professional associations, and so on, will be informally consulted at the drafting stage regarding legislation which could affect their, or their members' or employees', interests, simply to avoid impracticalities or inimicalities. It seems good sense to anticipate and avoid legislation which could turn out counter productively or bring unforeseen consequences. Such processes are surely not the exclusive prerogative of Royalty
