My amendment 99 takes a simpler, fairer path that lets the worker decide who accompanies them. There is no regulatory ambiguity; it just creates a clear new worker’s right. However, where the noble Lord, Lord Palmer, and I agree is on the fundamentals, particularly on the need to update the law. The original part of the employment law that we are talking about was enacted in the 1990s, when trade union membership was significantly higher than it currently is, but this one-size-fits-all approach is wholly out of step with the modern world that we are living in.
