Come on, you know you're dodging my question. Which of Cobham's IP rights and/or development & manufacturing capabilities have left the UK as a result of its breakup? Were any of those meant to stay in the UK under the terms agreed with HMG? In the absence of any examples, your assertion that the buyers have "got away with" something is empty rhetoric.
As to the sort of deal HMG wants, they want one enforceable in court.
