Clause 32 - Consequential adjustment of time limits
Employment Bill
11:15 am
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
Can the Minister be precise about what he means by ''begun''? It seems to me that proceedings would have been begun, even were the employee subsequently, for a prolonged period, unable to attend meetings or respond to the employer's inquiries. My understanding is that the Minister proposes to take a power to allow a proceeding to be begun after a long period, when no steps have previously been taken.
