I agree with much of what Trowelhead says in his last post, but not with his last point.
A new Chartering or Licencing system would not allow big units to outbid small ones for work they could otherwise do. The whole point of such a system would be that, for certain defined types of work, you would not be allowed by law to do it if you were not Chartered or Licenced.
So, by definition, units so small that they could not afford to employ such a person could not bid in the first place - but then should they be allowed to, if they can't employ someone competent to do the job?
