Clause 31 - Information and consultation
Employment Relations Bill
10:00 am
Mr Jon Cruddas (Dagenham, Labour)
Some Labour Members might share the hon. Gentleman's concerns about the speed and timing of the introduction. However, will he concede that the method developed by the Government in the framework discussions with the TUC and the CBI in terms of public policy making is a good way of consolidating and developing frameworks for British law, which are the product of negotiations and will create compromise? Even though individually we might have concerns—we have huge concerns about trade union recognition, small firms exemptions, the 40 per cent. threshold and the like—we should bear in mind the bigger picture of public policy making, and the importance of developments with the CBI and TUC.
