Employment Bill [HL]

I am not necessarily asking for another document of that sort. In the light of the concerns that have been expressed by the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn—who is one of his party colleagues—on this matter, and by others in Committee, I suggest that he tries talking to his department, the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office about the wider concerns that have been expressed. I suggest in passing that he talks to them rather than writes, since no doubt they would lose the letter, as No. 10 lost the letter from my honourable friend Mr Davis. The Government are not very good at keeping any records at the moment. Will the noble Lord talk to those departments about the concerns that have been expressed and say that it goes beyond the workplace? He could say, ““We agree that there are problems in the workplace and we already have the document, but could you look at it more widely throughout all Government?””. As the noble Lord assured us earlier, the Government are very joined up in this and in all other matters.
