The Bill will still require trade unions to ask the members on the ballot paper for industrial action which type of industrial action they want to take part in, expressed in terms of whether this is strike action or action short of a strike. Ballots will also continue to be independently scrutinised. This will help ensure that trade union members are able to make informed decisions when voting on proposed strike action. In light of this, I therefore ask the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe of Epsom, or indeed the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral, to withdraw Amendment 247.
