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 may clarify one thing for the noble Baroness. When I said that I had seen the TUC and the Government, I did not say that either of them had agreed with me, which of course they had not. As the noble Baroness should know, the TUC position has been to oppose any safeguards, which it said in the consultation. With that, I do not agree. We had a spirited disagreement. I could answer the points in due course.
