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

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. There is also the situation involving payroll companies. If such a company offers to take over all an employer’s payroll responsibilities, the duties to pay pensions, national insurance and sick pay are divested to that payroll company, meaning that that semi-detached element in the workplace is responsible for maintaining many records, which makes keeping everything up to date even more complicated and difficult. Another aspect is the casualisation of the workplace, because there are some sectors of the economy in which full-time permanent employment is almost being abolished. Again, that situation will make it more difficult to comply with the Bill’s strictures.
