We all agree that trade unions do a useful job, but is the hon. Lady seriously trying to justify what the NUM was doing in the example given a moment ago by the hon. Member for Bassetlaw (John Mann) and in the example that I gave? The union was doing exactly what claims farmers do and taking a cut of the miners’ money. Is the hon. Lady saying that that is fine and that we should not regulate trade unions?
