Also, the noble Lord’s amendment does not specify how a family test would work. It does not link into any statutory definition, and it makes for a highly impractical test. Some might speculate that it is a backdoor way of retaining the restrictions on specific sectors that one might say are more disruptive to family life, such as transport and education, that were initially introduced in the Trade Union Act 2016, which—I remind noble Lords opposite—we have a manifesto commitment to abolish.
