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

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 September 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on what he has said so far. Is he aware that Unison commissioned Michael Ford QC of Old Square chambers to provide it with legal advice? It has been shared with the Government and says that

“the Bill probably infringes both Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) with regards to the right to a private life and Article 11…with regards to the freedom of association.”

Will my hon. Friend join me in calling on the Minister to address those issues fully in her response?
