Proceeding contribution from Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (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]

My noble friend refers to the Minster’s existing powers. That power was inserted by the 2002 Act. Many of us were unhappy at the amendment to the Bill in 2001 to that effect. I agree that there are existing powers, but too much stress should not be put on them, as though they had existed since the year dot; they were new powers in 2002.
