Proceeding contribution from Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Employment Bill [HL].
Employment Bill [HL]
I cannot answer the noble Baroness’s question to me. My stress was not so much on the penalties for what is plainly a criminal offence as on the worker, who needs to have their arrears paid to them. I support the Bill—of course, there must be heavier penalties and better enforcement through criminal procedures—but I asked that the Minister tell us what more can be done to enforce payment of lost wages to the worker.
