Clause 43 - Union learning representatives
Employment Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Mark Prisk (Hertford and Stortford, Conservative)
It is clear from what the hon. Gentleman has said that that measure was an excellent example of the type of agreement that all members of the Committee would support. However, we should consider compulsion and how best to encourage such agreements. Does he agree with the Industrial Society's presentation to the Committee about how the promotion of voluntary agreements is often the best way forward, rather than heavy-handed legislation?
