Clause 22 - Limitations of emergency regulations
Civil Contingencies Bill
11:15 am
Mr Patrick Mercer (Newark, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister for that clear exposé, notwithstanding one's views on the right or otherwise to strike.
Last year, we were spared the problems of having to deal with a potentially extremely damaging firemen's strike. The Minister has partially reassured me that thought has been given to the provisions that would be relevant in the event of a much more traumatic
emergency. On those grounds, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
