Proceeding contribution from Lord Jones of Birmingham (Other (affiliation)) 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 am so sorry; I forgot. The test of reasonableness will ultimately be decided by a judge in a tribunal somewhere and will go through two or three hurdles on the way: first, common sense; secondly, the inspectorate, rightly; thirdly, probably someone from HMRC in some form of inquiry; and, lastly, anyone who disagrees with the test of reasonableness has every right to go to an adjudicator or a tribunal to understand what it is.
