In conclusion, the Government have listened to the concerns of your Lordships’ House. We have worked collaboratively, throughout the passage of the Bill, with parliamentarians, employers and trade unions. We have found compromise on the unfair dismissal provisions and we have now delivered on that compromise as part of a package deal to get this Bill to Royal Assent. Last week, your Lordships’ House asked the elected House to think again. That is the right of noble Lords and, in spite of being a new Member, I respect and defend it. MPs have now done as asked, supporting the Government in delivering the tripartite deal in its totality.
