Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I am afraid that my comment is against many comments from many Ministers of this Government and the last one, asking, “Why don’t you do something about the electric scooters and the people who go through red lights, knock down pedestrians and everything else?” The only answer we get is that it is too difficult. This is not the same as that; it is too difficult, but it is in a separate box, if you like. I still believe that, if Ministers were really keen to make sure that people paid their taxes and everything else, it might actually dissuade one or two people from trying to cross the channel. I know that this is something that the Prime Minister is very keen to do, and so am I.
