Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill

I completely agree with the hon. Gentleman. The biggest challenge those unions face—it is perhaps a reason why the Bill might help them focus more resources on the issue—is simply the fact that people move home. It is not a matter of losing members of the trade union movement; it is simply a matter of trade unionists moving house between different areas. That creates a massive turnover. We all have experience of moving house and know we have to pay the Royal Mail a fee to redirect our mail for a year. Moving home is a big issue; it is one of the key problems surrounding the clause. Clause 36 encourages the focusing of more union resources on tackling the problems of membership turnover.
