Clause 29 - Statutory dispute resolution procedures
Employment Bill
11:15 am
Mr Rob Marris (Wolverhampton South West, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman referred earlier to the risk of sclerosis in industrial relations and the economy. Schedule 2, when the Bill is enacted, will be implied in every contract of employment for every employee. If for reasons unenvisaged in the House or Committee it was found not to work, we would face sclerosis unless the Secretary of State had the power to amend it. It would be quicker for him to use such a power than to go through the procedures of the House.
