Clause 15 - ''Pay'' and other matters subject to collective bargaining
Employment Relations Bill
4:45 pm

Mr Henry Bellingham (North West Norfolk, Conservative)
The Minister has not said why the Government cannot come back to the House with primary legislation on such an important matter. However, I take on board what he has said. He is in a tricky position, and I can see that he is being pushed by colleagues. For me to push him too hard
from the other direction might be considered unkind, but we will be coming back to this subject later. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 15 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 16 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Further consideration adjourned.—[Charlotte Atkins.]
Adjourned accordingly at eight minutes to Five o'clock till Thursday 5 February at half-past Nine o'clock.
