Temporary and Agency Workers (Equal Treatment) Bill

Splendid. I assume that the leaflets will be translated into the language of the country in which are embassies are based. That is important. I also hope that the Minister will take on board our support for the need to get the information out and perhaps provide samples of the leaflets in the Library so that we can see what message they send. I know exactly where the hon. Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston is coming from with his Bill. We want to ensure that the people who work in this country get the proper protection that they deserve. I have great doubts that the Bill will do that, and clearly employers organisations and the Government also have great doubts. The commission is probably the right way to proceed so that we can examine the unintended consequences. It may be that tweaking the existing legislation may afford agency workers the rights that we all want them to have. If not, at least the commission can come back and say, ““No. Fresh legislation is needed. This is what we need to do and this will be its impact. It won't destroy jobs and will give the protection that we want to give to agency workers.”” If that is the case, I am sure that such legislation will have the full backing of the House.
