Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [Lords].
Employment Bill [Lords]
No, I will not give way. Under this proposed measure, an unlimited sum of compensation could be imposed on a large or small company because somebody's feelings had been hurt. I am sure that this proposed new section was drafted with the best intentions, but it should have been drafted much better, and that could also be said of several other parts of new clause 1.
