Tim Jones: I hope not. Part of the reason that that might happen and might be out of our control would be if—through the course of the passage of this Bill or the scrutiny of secondary legislation—things change which alter the burden or the procedures. We have among our principles a duty to consider doing this in a way that minimises the burden on employers. We take that principle very seriously, so we are going to be working particularly through the employer representative committee as we set that up to consult through it and other stakeholders directly on ways in which we can keep the employers’ burden as small as we reasonably can.
