Clause 1
Temporary and Agency Workers (Equal Treatment) Bill

Has the hon. Member for Nottingham, East not missed the point? If an aggrieved worker went to the hon. Member for Aberdeen, North—let us say that he resumed his law practice in Scotland, having lost his seat—the advice that he would get is, “Your rights, sir, are not only to sue the employer but to sue the agency. We think the employer may be short of funds or in financial trouble, so we advise you to go to the agency first.” That is what the Bill provides for.
