Most recent appearances
- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Employment Law (Beecroft Report) (21 May 2012)
“I agree with the Minister on the need for balance, but does he agree that we would create a climate of fear in employees by introducing a fire-at-will option, which will not help productivity or growth, and which could be just plain bonkers?”
- Debate on the Address: Business and the Economy (14 May 2012)
“I agree with the hon. Gentleman that we should give the Green investment bank more powers, and those are coming. However, the Government have made £3 billion available to the bank. How much would his party contribute to a Green investment bank, because it has not been forthcoming on that so far?”
- Debate on the Address: Business and the Economy (14 May 2012)
“Many laws were passed under the previous Government—more than one for every single day they were in government—but what did that achieve? Unless we enact them and then ensure that people adhere to them, they are not worth the paper they are written on.”
