Union communications with workers after acceptance of application
Employment Relations Bill
11:15 am

Mr Gerry Sutcliffe (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Employment Relations, Competition and Consumers), Department of Trade and Industry; Bradford South, Labour)
My hon. Friend is entirely right and I need not say more. In light of that explanation, I hope that the hon. Member for North-West Norfolk will withdraw the spurious amendment. I do not want to continue on a sour note. I want to return to the original understanding that, even though we may disagree, we should do so in the right spirit. However, my patience is starting to wane with the spurious amendments being put forward.
