Temporary and Agency Workers (Equal Treatment) Bill [Money]

My hon. Friend makes another excellent point and I fully agree with him. Frankly, we are all whistling in the dark. No one in the Chamber has any idea what the Bill's cost implications are, yet the Minister has come here to debate them. He shows up the fallacy of the Government's argument very well. Although the debate on the merits of the Bill will wait until the Committee stage, which starts tomorrow, I see no reason why the Minister should thereby be let off having to set out now the reasons for the authorisation of Government expenditure on such a scale. The Minister has failed to set them out properly this evening; I invite him to do so now.
