Clause 151
9:00 am
David Kidney (Stafford, Labour)
I am acting in the spirit of finding out information rather than putting across a point of view. I usually expect the Opposition to be against interferences with private businesses, except on a warrant—as under existing law—and against imposing new burdens on businesses, yet the provision would put a new burden on them. Given that we have all received an e-mail from the CBI saying that it is strongly opposed to the amendment, why do the Opposition want to go down that road?
