Clause 31 - Non-completion of statutory procedure: adjustment of awards
Employment Bill
10:30 am
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
The Minister has cited as one of the circumstances in which the provisions would not apply a situation in which collective procedures, rather than the statutory procedure, had been used. Is not the import of what we have just discussed in clause 30 that those collective procedures would be additional to and consistent with the statutory procedures? If so, it is not clear to me why he needs to exclude compliance with the statutory procedures. By implication, those would have been complied with because the broader and more extensive procedure that he has in mind had been complied with.
