Clause 16
Employment Bill [Lords]
5:30 pm
Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Minister, Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform; Huntingdon, Conservative)
Yes, we feel that the provisions are justified. It is important to stress that we are dealing with a small number of employment agencies here. The vast majority are excellent employers; in fact they are among the best because of the nature of what they do. However, in circumstances where wrong is being done, the situation could be very bad, so provisions such as this are correct and we will support the clause.
