Although we all want to be great employers, enforcing things that employers will find incredibly hard to deliver will just stop employers taking people on. That will restrict the ability of those who want to work for only a few hours a week—for example, just to have a change from caring duties in their homes. The intention is right, as my noble friend Lord Wolfson said, but the outcome will be very detrimental to the business community, particularly to small businesses, which are, as we all know, the backbone of our country.
