Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [HL].


Employment Bill [HL]

My Lords, I offer my support to my noble friend Lord Hunt for his amendment. I declare an interest as a CEDR-credited mediator, a route which I went down following the advice of my noble friend, who suggested that it was something that I might be interested in doing. Whether I am any good as a mediator is another matter—but certainly it is a very useful process and one that protects a large number of people from the potential later ravages of lawyers. I support my noble friend’s amendment and hope that the Government can give it a sympathetic response.
