- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Employment Law (Beecroft Report) (21 May 2012)
“A few years ago I ran a small company with 20 employees. One of them was grossly inefficient and incompetent. That person was highly unpopular and should have gone, but I was unable to remove them. It cost a great deal of money and effort, and in the end I failed. I hope that we will get legislation that allows good employers to deal with people like that.”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Cost of Living (16 May 2012)
“May I ask, in support of what my hon. Friend is saying, how the Government can make a substantial difference to dairy farmers in his constituency to put things right?”
