Employment Rights Bill – in the House of Commons at 7:36 pm on 11 March 2025.
Amendment made: 79, page 29, line 12, at end insert—
“(7) In section 202 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (national security), in subsection (2), after paragraph (e) insert—
“(eza) Part 8A,”.”—(Justin Madders.)
Clause 7 of the Bill amends Part 8A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to require an employer who refuses an employee’s application for flexible working to explain why the employer considers it is reasonable to refuse the application. This amendment would enable the disclosure of information under Part 8A to be restricted where it would be contrary to the interests of national security.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
