Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I was not only referring to staging but to any other changes to the recommendations that the Government may decide to make. These bodies are extremely important to the working of the country. All three have an immense effect on the lives of the people of this country. If you remove the right to strike you have a huge responsibility to ensure that the settlements are appropriate. I am not commenting on the discussions that are going on at the moment. This is the right time to try to nail down that if there are to be changes to any of the recommendations made in support of those bodies, however they are arrived at, it is appropriate that the House of Commons should be able to bring the Minister forward, to ask questions about the reasons behind such changes and to ensure that they are completely understood by the people who work within those bodies. The amendment would provide them with an opportunity to quiz the Government. I hear what the Minister says and I shall read it in Hansard. However, I suspect that this is not the last the noble Lord will hear of the matter in this House. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
