Proceeding contribution from Michael Clapham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill (HL).


Compensation Bill [Lords]

I take my hon. Friend’s view that trade unions have been agencies for the betterment of society. As he has heard in the discussion with my hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (John Mann), much of the problem started with a separate agreement given to the Union of Democratic Mineworkers, which was not available to other unions in the mining industry. Does he agree that all the problems seem to have stemmed from that?
