His company – the producer of most of the world’s most advanced semiconductors – would boost its existing $65bn US presence by a whopping $100bn.

The final report, Am I Ever Gonna See You Live Again, concluded consumer law should be amended to improve transparency in fee and charging practices for concert tickets, and stamp out “conduct that distorts, manipulates or undermines consumer choice, without necessarily being misleading or deceptive, such as practices that create an undue sense of urgency or scarcity”.
