I accept that the hon. Gentleman does not want to do anything that will hit business in this country and that his Bill is well intentioned. Of course, the most dangerous legislation is well intended but passed without consideration of unintended consequences. What does the hon. Gentleman believe the unintended consequences of his Bill could be? We want equal rights for workers, but we operate in a global world. Do our European Union neighbours, the United States of America, Australia and Canada have legislation similar to what he is trying to pass through the House today?
