Proceeding contribution from Paul Farrelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [Lords].


Employment Bill [Lords]

Perhaps I can strike a different tone from that of my colleague, the hon. Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell). The Bill touches on agency workers and exploitation in respect of enforcement. Clearly, the CBI and TUC have recently agreed a compromise on the substance of the protection for agency workers—I addressed that matter as part of my private Member's Bill last year—and I welcome that. Did the Minister note that neither the Conservative nor the Liberal Democrat Front-Bench team welcomed and supported that compromise tonight?
