I am unable to call Amendment 17, as it is an amendment to Amendment 16.

Amendment 18 not moved.

Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill

Lord Faulkner of Worcester Excerpts
This legislation has the complete opposite effect from what the Minister is suggesting. When you look at the comments I have already made about the rail industry, it is clear that this is going to aggravate industrial relations and prolong disputes, not minimise them. I hope the Minister can give us a clear indication of what he thinks are reasonable steps for a union to take in these circumstances.

I should advise the Committee that if this amendment is agreed, I will not be able to call Amendments 34, 34A or 35 for reason of pre-emption.
