Health Bill

I greatly admire the hon. Gentleman as well, and I am sure that there is an incredibly bright future ahead of him, whoever happens to be leading the Labour party. I am delighted that he mentioned protection for employees, because I was about to mention it myself. When an employer offers someone a job, he will say ““These are the working hours, this is the pay that you will be given, and this is the environment in which you will work.”” I believe that people are intelligent enough to decide for themselves whether they want to apply for and accept that job. Those on the other side of the argument appear to feel that they are far too dim to make the decision themselves, and that the Government must decide for them.
