Jacob Rees-Mogg has warned that the Government’s new strikes law will be subject to legal challenges unless it is drastically amended, as the Bill cleared the Commons.
The Tory former business secretary gave his backing to the Strikes (Minimum Services Levels) Bill, but said it was “badly written” and criticised the sweeping powers it gives to his successor Grant Shapps.
Rees-Mogg urged ministers to allow the House of Lords to amend the Bill to add detail to it, claiming this would mean it was “much less susceptible to judicial review”.
