Employment Bill [Lords]

I will do so later, as there is plenty of time. The Conservative party's position on the national minimum wage, and also more recently Opposition Members joining in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the national health service, reminded me of Tony Crosland saying in his book, ““The Future of Socialism””—if I can be forgiven for using that word—that as the Conservative party has accommodated to a modern democracy, it now proudly wears the medals of battles it has lost. That is true for the national minimum wage and the national health service.
