I had rather hoped not to be standing here this evening speaking to this money resolution, if only because of the lateness of the hour. Following what the Minister said on Second Reading on 22 February, I had hoped that organisations such as the TUC and the CBI would have sat down with the Government and worked something out by now. The Bill contains some sensible aspects that I am sure everyone wants to see enacted. No one in the Chamber wants to see vulnerable workers being exploited, but there is confusion in the Bill between agency workers and vulnerable workers; those two terms are not synonymous—[Interruption.]
