The truth is that this legislation is incomplete; the evidence base is inadequate, and the consultation has been insufficient. I second the comments from my noble friend Lord Leigh of Hurley. To be clear, we have seen multiple tens of organisations that represent businesses in this country and not one, including all the major employment organisations, says that it has been consulted by this Government or that it supports the Bill. The consultation has been insufficient and the consequences—economic, legal and reputational—have not been properly considered.
