Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Employment Bill [HL].


Employment Bill [HL]

I totally accept that it is a basic requirement and, as such, it is well understood. This is not the sort of thing that I feel I have to oppose, but I do not really support it. I do not think that it is necessary. I do not see why we cannot leave things as they are, because ACAS is doing a splendid job. It knows what to do and I do not think that it needs any help from us. I rather like the way in which my noble friend Lord Henley put it. I would not always support him because he happened to say something, but I do on this occasion think that he got it right.
