Employment Bill [HL]

I am sure that with reasonable trade union general secretaries such as the noble Lord—my noble neighbour, if I can put it that way, since he has now come to live in Cumberland—there would be no danger at all. Moreover, I am sure that the noble Lord is right to say that Conservative Ministers have been members of the NUM, and so on. It is really a question of making sure that we get the law right in case something happens in the future.
