Lord True (Con)
My Lords, the noble Baroness makes an allegation under privilege; perhaps she would like to repeat that outside the House.
Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)
My Lords, will my noble friend take this opportunity to pay tribute to the trade union movement and the fantastic job that it has done in lobbying Labour and Conservative Governments?
Lord True (Con)
I would indeed; I am quite old fashioned and I greatly respect the trade union tradition. I also respect the freedom of politicians such as Mr Ed Davey, who became a lobbyist immediately after losing his ministerial job in 2015.
