Growth and Infrastructure Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chuka Umunna (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 April 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Growth and Infrastructure Bill.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. In fairness to Conservative Government Members, at least they are upfront and frank about their purpose in taking away people’s rights at work and do not, while voting for measures that do that, claim to be doing otherwise. We will watch carefully to see which Liberal Democrat Members join us in the Division Lobby.

I return to my previous point: there is no compelling vision for growth in the Bill. On all the evidence, the comments that the Business Secretary made in his letter to the Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister last year are just as valid now as they were then, which is why we will not support this ludicrous measure and have resisted it every step of the way.
