Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [Lords].


Employment Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend will have considerable experience of this matter as a former trade union solicitor. Would she care to say anything about the Bill's initial clauses on the statutory dispute resolution procedure, which was contained in the Employment Act 2002. I served on the Standing Committee that considered that Bill, and several Members, including me, pointed out to the then Minister that that procedure would be unworkable. Sadly, that has proved to be so. I wonder whether my hon. Friend will share with the House her experiences in that regard.
