Lord Callanan (Con)
That study is still going on, and I am sure we will let the noble Baroness know as soon as we have a conclusive statement to make on it.
Lord Hain (Lab)
My Lords, does the Minister see any contradiction between cheering key workers during the pandemic and then condemning them when they strike to get the decent pay rise they have been denied for many years?
Lord Callanan (Con)
I do not see any contradiction. This is about getting a balance between those workers who have the right to go on strike and all those other workers who have the right to go to their hospital appointments, take their exams and go to their place of employment.
