UK Politicians want Arm Holdings to be Floated on UK Stock Market

Yes, but the UK government agreed that Japanese SoftBank could buy Arm five years ago, but it seems like the current situation has changed their mind and they want it to be a UK business again. You would've thought that they were concerned about national security back then as well though, but hey, who knows what goes through the head of politicians.
Was there a chip shortage five years ago and was the supply chain messed up due to a virus five years ago?

Okay - I've deleted a full page of far-from-topic political shit-slinging. Please stick to the ARM topic, if there's actually anything to say at all.
 
As for the OP, it's a bit vague. I had to Google the headlines to find two MP's (UK has 650) that have mentioned this (one of whom has their constituency in Cambridge). This isn't the same as the UK Gov asking for this. It's the same as any random MP asking for any random thing. There's no act of parliament, no petition - just a voice in the crowd. In other words, it's a bit baity.
There's a link to the source below the article.
Once again, the source links don't work in the forum.
Please complain to the management if this is not to your liking, as I can't do anything about it.

Arm doesn't make chips.
