- Question
- Does my right hon. Friend think it right for hon. Members to take instruction from the GMB about how to vote on amendments?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend raises a serious issue—[Interruption.] I can hear, and I can sense, a bit of resistance, which is perhaps not surprising when 85% of Labour's money comes from the trade unions. When we discuss legislation in this House, we should be bringing our judgment, our ideas and our arguments, not just picking up a tired old brief from a trade union.
