Temporary and Agency Workers (Equal Treatment) Bill
9:30 am
Andrew Miller (Ellesmere Port and Neston, Labour)
I spotted where I was going and was gradually bringing the sentence back round to be in order. The purpose of the approach that I am adopting with the sittings motion is to create the maximum opportunity for the discussions that are going on outside this place to come to a conclusion so that we will, I hope, be in a position either to invite the Committee to amend the Bill further or consider a different approach, depending on where the Government get to in those discussions.
Because of the constraints of the sittings motion and the need to keep in order, I will stop my remarks there, but I hope that you will agree with me, Mr. Hancock, that it would be extremely helpful to the Committee in facilitating its plans if Her Majesty’s Government could give us a clear picture on where those discussions have got to.
