Clause 25 - Power to delegate prescription of forms etc.
Employment Bill
6:30 pm
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 39, in page 33, line 43, at end insert—
''(aa) authorise the Secretary of State to prescribe forms in electronic format for the purposes stated in paragraph (a) above.''.
We are making startling progress, as we hurtle towards the end of part 2. Amendment No. 39 simply seeks to include in the Bill a provision that the prescribed forms may be in electronic format if the Secretary of State so determines. It is part of a modernising agenda, and I hope that the Minister will have no difficulty in agreeing to it.
