I hope that the Government will welcome Amendment 43 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Young, with open arms. It would simply clarify that Clause 20 will not apply to indirect harassment or overheard conversations. Therefore, in that instance, Angela Rayner can concentrate on the nasty abuse stuff and not have this picked up unintentionally. Employers can focus on protecting employees from harassment which directly targets them, which is very different to what is in the Bill.
