Employment Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for what he has said. I would welcome the chance to discuss this. There are some things of which one cannot be certain and on which one needs to be silent, so I am about to be silent. I understand the Minister’s answer. Not only is looking at the EU legislation and fitting it in with our own complicated, but the issue about wages is complicated because we do not have an equal pay Act based on race but on gender, whereas the Race Relations Act applies to alternate conditions, and so on. Without prolonging matters now, it would be excellent if we could sit down with officials and the Minister to see where we are.
