Employment Bill [HL]

My Lords, perhaps I may put it in the words of P G Wodehouse: they may not be exactly disgruntled but they seem far from being gruntled. I was making the point that the noble Lord may have to do a little building of bridges. We are grateful for what he gave us and no doubt the Liberals are as well. In that spirit of compromise, I beg leave to withdraw Amendment No. 4. [Amendment No. 4, as an amendment to Amendment No. 3, by leave, withdrawn.] [Amendments Nos. 5 to 7, as amendments to Amendment No. 3, not moved.] On Question, Amendment No. 3 agreed to.
