Sarah Olney criticises “appalling” rush to pass anti Strike Bill

By | Sat 14th January 2023 - 3:30 pm

Lib Dem Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney has criticised the “appalling” way the Government is trying to “sneak” through its new anti strike measures with the bare minimum of Parliamentary scrutiny. MPs will have two days to debate the measures.

Reported in the Standard, Sarah said:

It’s appalling for Conservative ministers to try and sneak this sweeping new law through with barely any scrutiny from MPs. It’s almost like they know their Bill would fall apart under even the lightest examination.

    Is H M G’s approach to this legislation legal?
    How does our death rate, caused by the damage done by H. M. G to our health services, compare with the death rate in Ukraine?
    Might both deadly disasters have been avoided?
