I agree completely. I think that those Members were arguing that legislation other than TUPE would apply and give people protection. I agree that there is other such legislation; it does not, however, give the same protection as TUPE does. That is the point. Why should one set of workers' protection be inferior to that of another set of workers in a very similar situation—not exactly the same, but very similar?
