Employment Bill [HL]

I rise only to say that I am so pleased at the support being given by everyone who has spoken in relation to this matter. It is very important, as has been said, because the proposals appear to be going a step further and taking over the person completely. It is right that 1984 has been referred to several times. This amendment is an attempt to bring the matter to the Government’s attention and to point out that it needs to be dealt with and monitored—someone has to do it. I am pleased by the support that the amendment has received and I look forward to hearing from the Minister what the Government’s view is on this matter and what steps may be taken to deal with something that could affect the lives of so many people in such an intimate and detailed way.
