Employment Bill [Lords]

That matter was covered in an Adjournment debate in Westminster Hall some weeks ago, when we welcomed the £3 million of additional money, but reflected that at that point in time it had not resulted in an additional number of posts being filled. Vacancies in the department were already being held open, so there has not been the additionality in staffing expected by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer—now the Prime Minister—when he announced that money. I would welcome a letter from the Minister to the Public and Commercial Services Union, which is the union that has raised these points in the debate and still has not received an adequate response.
