Employment Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Employment Bill [Lords].
In the briefing that my hon. Friend has quoted from, the TUC suggests that Mr. Lee, the BNP member who took action against ASLEF, would have won his case under the Bill, if it goes through. We are therefore in severe danger of legislating in a retrograde way. It is critical that Ministers meet the TUC and others to resolve the matter before we make a fundamental mistake, which would run counter to all that has been said on both sides of the Chamber.
