Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) 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

As a general principle, there should be even-handedness between the treatment of the private sector and the public sector. Or, to put it another way, it is certainly not reasonable to impose on the private sector financial costs that it is not judged proper to impose on the public sector. In that context, does my right hon. Friend agree that it would be useful to know, in regard to clause 13(4), whether the Government intend to apply the provisions to persons in Crown employment?
