Clause 45 - Fixed-term work
Employment
4:45 pm
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
I cannot recall how many times in my four and a half years in this place I have tabled amendments in Standing Committee, altering something to be confirmed by negative resolution to something to be confirmed by affirmative resolution. I believe that I am right in saying that this is the first time that the Government have accepted such a proposal from me, so I am grateful to the Minister that on this occasion sense has prevailed.
I am entirely satisfied with the Minister's explanation on amendment No. 231 and reassured by the approach that the regulations take. I therefore beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 45 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
