Trade Unions: Ballots

Lord Geddes Excerpts

Thursday 31st March 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord De Mauley]

My Lords, let me say, if I may be so bold, that that was not what the Question was about. The Question was about union recognition ballots. The Government’s position on that is, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

[Lord Geddes]

My Lords, for the avoidance of doubt, is the noble Lord, Lord Grocott, not slightly misinformed? We are not voting for a change in the constitution on 5 May. We are voting as to whether we should have such a change.

[Lord De Mauley]

My Lords, I do not think that I have anything to add.
