Well, I'm sure that's a question you can point to the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership.

—a broadly favourable picture of this legislation, concluding it will boost public confidence around access to vital services during walkouts, and stated that there would be economic benefits that would result from less disruption to day-to-day business activity. I will, however, concede that there will be a need for more consideration to certain aspects of the minimum operating requirements: for example, in Rhyl, where, whilst trains can be reduced to one per hour instead of three, there are some services such as signal boxes that are binary, and, in aviation, air traffic control is either open or closed. But this will, I am sure, be addressed in the secondary legislation accompanying the Bill. 

There is no doubt in my mind that this Bill is about fairness and balance—nothing more, nothing less. If a trade union notifies an employer of a strike in accordance with existing normal rules, this Bill means that employers will be required to consult the trade union on the minimum number of workers needed and that work will be undertaken, and they must have regard to the union's views before issuing any work notice. Therefore, the notion that this Bill is

'a full-frontal attack on working people and the trade unions' is nothing more than political posturing by Plaid Cymru. And I would urge everyone here in this Chamber to vote against this motion and instead support our amendment, tabled in the name of Darren Millar. Thank you, Llywydd.
