It is no surprise that the party that opposed the introduction of the minimum wage and the Employment Relations Act 1999 would be opposed to this legislation. I have to say, parties purportedly of the left or centre-left will have to explain at the ballot box to the young voters they seem so eager to court why their rights matter less if they work behind a bar compared with those who work in the city or in law, or perhaps even as a Member of Parliament. We were elected to this place to deliver for working people. The Employment Rights Bill in full will deliver this, and I will be proud to vote down the Lords amendments tonight.
