Ministers slammed for seeking to rush ‘anti-strike’ laws through Commons in just two daysOpposition parties condemned the timetable unveiled for the new minimum service strike lawinisters were accused on Friday of seeking to rush deeply-controversial minimum service strike legislation through the Commons in just two days without proper scrutiny by MPs.“What is probably going on here is that the Government knows this bill is likely to run into difficulties in the Lords—where the Government can’t schedule the bill in the same way—and so they are trying to clear the Commons relatively quickly before it potentially gets bogged down in the other House.”Labour’s Deputy Leader Angela Rayner stressed: “Ministers know this shoddy, unworkable Bill won’t do a thing to help working people or avoid strikes.“It’s almost like they know their Bill would fall apart under even the lightest examination.”Business Secretary Grant Shapps has stressed that the Government “absolutely believes in the right to strike” but it is “duty bound” to protect the lives and livelihoods of the public.He added: “We don’t want to use this legislation but we must ensure the safety of the British public.”But UNISON assistant general secretary Jon Richards said: “Fast-tracking a bill that gives all powers to the government and infringes workers’ rights, undermines democracy and doesn’t allow proper oversight by Parliament.”Fire Brigades Union general secretary Matt Wrack added: “It’s an outrage that the Tories are seeking to bulldoze this assault on the rights of working people through Parliament without any meaningful scrutiny.”Ministers have not specified when the stages beyond 2nd Reading will take place.Britain is being hit by a wave of walk-outs by nurses, paramedics, rail workers, postal staff, civil servants, with industrial action also threatened by teachers and junior doctors."
