Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 July 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

A third argument used is that trade unions are collective entities rather than businesses, and so the issue of mis-selling does not apply to them. This argument does not hold water either. Members of mutual organisations surely rightly expect to be treated with the same high standards as elsewhere. People contributing to charitable activities also expect this. Why should the unions be any different?
