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 endorse everything that my noble friend Lord Borrie said and we congratulate the Government on this move forward. However, society moves as fast even as House of Lords Grand Committees. What may need increasingly to be provided is not accommodation but accommodation expenses. This will apply often to young voluntary workers. We all know how difficult it is for young people to find anywhere to live in London, and the same is true of some other cities. Will the Government keep under active review the paragraph that excludes accommodation expenses?
