Proceeding contribution from Baroness Turner of Camden (Labour) 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 thank the Minister for that response, and I thank my noble friends who participated in this debate. I am sorry that the Minister feels unable to accept the amendment. I was aiming to ensure that ACAS had a proactive role in industrial relations; in other words, that ACAS would participate actively to ensure that industrial disputes could be properly handled at the workplace with appropriate procedures. I shall look carefully at what the Minister said in response. I do not agree with some of it, and we shall have to consider whether we wish to proceed further with this issue. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
