Commenting on the latest changes the government has made to
the Lobbying Bill today (Thursday), TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady
said:
“After uniting the whole of civil society against it, the
government has today been forced to make further concessions on the Lobbying
Bill.
“But it would be a mistake to think that the changes meet
the concerns raised or end the attack on free speech. Nor do they undo the
damage done through lack of consultation, or the failure even to attempt to try
and build consensus.
“The attacks on trade unions in part three remain
unchanged. This is despite the red flag from the Regulatory Policy Committee,
the government’s continuing failure to spell out why changes are needed and the
clear threat to union membership confidentiality.
“This is a bad, partisan Bill entirely devoid of merit. It
should be scrapped.”
