Mr Gerry Sutcliffe (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Employment Relations, Competition and Consumers), Department of Trade and Industry; Bradford South, Labour)
I shall not comment on the hon. Gentleman's remark about the hon. Member for Huntingdon, which might get him into trouble.
In the case of a recognition ballot, the responsible person will be the Central Arbitration Committee. It decides the forms of the ballot. In the case of other statutory union ballots, all of which are internal ballots, the responsible person will be the union.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 41 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 42 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Further consideration adjourned.—[Charlotte Atkins.]
