On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. What the Minister has just said is legally and factually incorrect. The law states that if a company has a 90-day consultation with its staff about changes to terms and conditions, it can then issue a new contract. If a member of staff refuses to sign that contract, they can be sacked for another substantial reason.
Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)
That is not a matter for the Chair, but the hon. Lady has put it on record for people to see.
