Proceeding contribution from Alison Seabeck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Work and Families Bill.


Work and Families Bill

To return to the point made by the hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford (Mr. Prisk), does my right hon. Friend agree that small businesses benefit from offering flexibility to their staff, because they might otherwise lose experienced staff whose replacements would be expensive to train? The logic behind the provision is that by offering staff flexibility, a business retains their skills.
