Brilliant! Good to see both the Planning Bill and the Employment Rights Bill listed for that day too. Hopefully both can get a step closer to law!

Does she even realise what her vote meant?
If she had helped defeat the governent, it would have made the Lords amendments remain part of the bill, rather than the variation the government negotiated with the unions and business leaders...
...so effectively a vote against what the unions agreed...

When I said the Lib Dems are playing games - they will abstain today, claiming abolishing the cap on compensation for unfair dismisal was added at the last minute and wasn't part of the agreement.
But at least 2 MPs call her out on it - including the minister in the room for the negotiations!

...kick in after 6 months of employment, rather than 24. But not the day 1 protection that was originally in the bill (and the Labour manifesto).
Will be interesting to see who votes for the bill. Lib Dems already seem to be playing games in the Commons.
Next it goes back to the Lords….again!

The bill has 3 times been blocked by the Lords, watering down key amendments that were Labour manifesto promises.
It risked delaying the implementation of the entire bill, so the government struck a compromise with unions and buisness leaders, making protections from unfair dismissal...

The other is the Mental Health Bill, which is going through the Commons now. Doesn't look like there will be any more amendments, so could be going off for Royal Assent after this evening!
