Employment Bill [Lords]

Yes, except for the fact that, as my hon. Friend knows, some good legal opinion says, ““We do not know what an objective means.”” It is not well defined in the Bill or more generally. We know what the rulebook is, but to talk about the objectives of the union is to talk about an amorphous concept. With great respect to my hon. Friend, I know that he has far more legal experience than I have, but he does not have more legal experience than all the lawyers I have spoken to. He and other lawyers disagree, which does not mean to say that he is wrong, but he and my hon. Friend the Minister have to reflect on the fact that if lawyers are disagreeing at this point, the Bill is not good law. That is the issue we have to address.
