Clause 1
Temporary and Agency Workers (Equal Treatment) Bill
10:00 am

I am trying hard to follow exactly what the hon. Gentleman is saying. The idea of permatemps is very welcome, and it is one that many employment agencies use, as he has just mentioned. However, at the same time, he is encompassing within the net all employment agencies, whether or not they supply temporary workers, so I am still concerned that employment agencies who have nothing to do with temporary workers will fall within the compass of the Bill.
