I do not believe we need to choose between representation and rest. I believe the future of industrial relations depends not on bigger structures but on mutual respect, including respect for people’s time, their privacy and their right to a quiet life. As the noble Lord, Lord Goddard of Stockport, said, it is all about getting the work-life balance right. I reserve my right to come back to this issue on Report. In the meantime, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
