I’ll refer too to the Government amendment. In the current political climate, I don’t think we can trust the UK Government not to withdraw safeguards from people who are vulnerable in the workplace. There are signs, aren’t there, that the Equality Act 2010 is on the radar of the Government, following the vote to leave the European Union. So, we think that it would be irresponsible for the Welsh Government not to try to gain those powers over employment rights so that people in workplaces in Wales can be safeguarded and protected in the way that they deserve. So, please do support the motion as it stands today, and I look forward to contributions by Members this afternoon.
