My subsequent amendment, Amendment 152B, refers to Clause 78, which removes from the certification officer the right to enforce annual return requirements. That gave the certification officer the power to make a declaration that a trade union had failed to comply with the Trade Union Act 2016. Why would the Government want to do that, other than being blindly led by their paymasters—or, to be fair, in the case of Unite, their former paymasters—to do the unions’ bidding?
