Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) 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]

Perhaps I could just finish explaining. I will then certainly sit down. If one does not have my amendment and just leaves it to the government position, what then would be the position? Or suppose one takes the position that is being advocated when we say that Clause 17 should not stand part? Let us just inspect those alternatives. If one said that Clause 17 should not stand part, the inevitable consequence would be that we would be in breach of the judgment in the ASLEF case. That is why we must have Clause 17 in some form.
