Employment Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Employment Bill [Lords].
I make this intervention as someone whose constituency Labour party receives moneys from the trade union solicitors, Thompsons, for whom I used to work and with whom I am proud to be still associated. Instead of a panoply of laws on how trade unions are—if they jump through certain hoops—exempt from creating the tort of inducing breach of contract, for example, by industrial action, would it not be simpler to abolish the tort altogether? We could thus get rid of the panoply of regulation.
