Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Conservative) 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 thank the Minister for that very detailed reply, which my noble friend Lord James will read with great interest. I know that he will consider all the points raised, many of which were very interesting. The noble Lord is right that the minimum figure of £10,000, which is double the previous maximum, is rather a big jump. However, I think that it shows how strong the feelings of my noble friend Lord James are on this issue and how badly he feels some people are being treated. I shall leave the matter at this stage and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
