Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 14 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Internal Market in Services (EUC Report).


Internal Market in Services (EUC Report)

My Lords, I am most grateful to my noble friend for giving way, but that is not quite what the trade unions are saying. They say that there are many areas where there are no collective agreements and that they would support the directive if it was accompanied by making progress on the temporary agency workers directive, which will cover many millions of people in the future. It is rather similar to the gangmasters Bill type of area. I hope that that will help to clarify why there is some trade union opposition.
