Growth and Infrastructure Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Growth and Infrastructure Bill.

My hon. Friend is making an important point. Does the proposal not indicate the Government’s thinking? They are quite prepared to offer the carrot to many companies that they can simply buy out rights at any time in the future. Next time it might be a cash offer or something like that. We legislate to protect all workers. We legislate for all women to have maternity rights. We legislate for everybody. It is not up to a company or a Government to pick and choose who should be eligible for those rights.
