Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Employment Bill [HL].


Employment Bill [HL]

I am obliged to all noble Lords who have spoken, including the noble Lord, Lord Lester of Herne Hill. I am afraid I am not able to withdraw the amendment. Without going into a form of argument with the Minister, I cannot accept his explanation about why this application by ASLEF was opposed. That is not a crucial matter but it may be a very important matter when one has to consider why the Government went for option A, then for option B, and now they are still at it. Why? The two are related and at some time there will have to be a better explanation, with respect, than the one given just now.
