One can have all the rights in the world but if one does not know about them one will be unlikely to be in a position to want to enforce them or try to enforce them. It is a question of information. I remember a previous Government quite some years ago closing down a series of Citizens Advice Bureaux, which was deliberately done to stop people getting information as to their rights and entitlements and save the Exchequer money. It is rather mean-minded. People are entitled to the maximum information as to their entitlements in work. This is a good amendment and I support it.
