Lords ChamberIf agencies do not wish to take part in the freedoms offered by these regulations then it is entirely their right not to do so.
My Lords, this is hardly St Francis of Assisi, is it? As this is not specifically about the rail workers, are the Government confident that they will find these armies of agency junior doctors and junior barristers down the track?
