Ian Lavery
The hon. Gentleman mentions union intimidation. Does he want to provide some examples of his experience of union intimidation?
The Temporary Chair (Sir Edward Leigh)
Order. I do not think we need to get into these wider areas. I repeat that this is a narrow amendment and that the clause itself is very narrow.

It would be helpful if the Minister explained who has been consulted in this process—a lot of people would be interested to hear that. My view is that it would not take long to explain how many people have been consulted, because it is only one or two. The trade unions individually and the TUC collectively have not been consulted.
Getting back to the Bill—
The Temporary Chair (Sir Edward Leigh)
Order. The hon. Gentleman should already be on the Bill.
