Temporary and Agency Workers (Equal Treatment) Bill

I should like to make a little progress. Two gentlemen came to my surgery asking for advice about how they could claim redundancy pay, because the depot in which they worked in my constituency had closed. The closure appeared to be a perfectly rational business decision, so when those guys came to see me I asked them why claiming redundancy pay was a problem. They told me that they were employed by an agency. I was curious, and asked them how long they had worked for it. One said, ““Twelve years””, and the other one said, ““Eight years.”” Is that a good use of British workers? It is an outrage that a publicly known company—Calor—should act in that way.
