Private Equity (Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment) Bill

Does my hon. Friend accept that one problem today is the Government's failure to respond to the Treasury Committee's report last July, paragraph 81 of which called on the Government to clarify the application of TUPE in the sort of situations discussed by the hon. Member for Nottingham, East in introducing his Bill? As a result, we are in the dark when discussing the matter today.
