Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I thank the Minister for his reply and also noble Lords who supported this amendment. I understand that these bodies are not the same but, as I said at the beginning, these are three organisations where there is a ““no strike”” policy. This is what brings them together. If anyone finds another one, I can add that next time. The people working in these organisations are not allowed to strike. The review bodies and the pay negotiation bodies already have to take account of the funds available to the departments. The Minister says that the Government have to take the wider view; that view is presumably passed on to the pay and negotiation bodies so that they know what they are working within. If they choose to go beyond that, the Government have the right to make their case. The bodies are working from advice that has been given to them.
