<p>The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Bill, introduced by Wera
Hobhouse MP, will deliver these two legislative commitments. We are aware of concerns
raised by some Parliamentarians about the balance the Bill strikes between protecting
free speech and tackling harassment. However, the Government remains committed to
these measures: we continue to support the Bill and are engaging noble Lords to reassure
them on these points.</p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, as the Bill has now passed to the
House of Lords, progress is now in the hands of the Lords. I and my officials are
in regular contact with the Lords and Commons Whips offices in relation to this Bill.</p><p>
