Employment Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for his reply. The noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, threw me slightly, because I did not know whether he was answering for the Government or whether I should wait for the Minister. The Minister has not repeated what the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, said. I would like clarification from one or both of them. Was the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, saying that the Revenue does not have the resources to pursue the cases? If it does not, that must be the answer to the question about why so few penalties were imposed. It would not be a question then of the ability of the offenders to avoid the Crown Court, but one of not having the people to carry out their duties properly. If that is the case, why does one not just make sure that one has the right amount of people to do the right job and leave it as it is?
