Former MP for Sudbury and Woodbridge
I will be very pleased to follow the suggestion of the hon. Member for East Ham, North (Mr. Prentice). That was my intention. We want to ensure that as much lay language as possible is used.
I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment. The Bill at present applies only to employees who normally work for their employers 21 hours or more a week. In our earlier discussions, I said that that was so that the Bill should benefit those who depend on that employment for at least a substantial part of their livelihood, and and that inconsiderable and...
With the leave of the House, I can tell the hon. Member for East Ham, North (Mr. Prentice) that this Amendment goes some way to please him, and provides the flexibility which he felt was lacking before. My hon. Friend the Member for Crosby (Mr. Graham Page) will appreciate that Schedule 1 already works retrospectively, because employment engaged in before the Bill comes into force will...

Member for Sheffield, Park (Mr. Mulley) which would have required inspectors to take into account space occupied by furniture, furnishings, fittings and machines in determining whether the standard of 40 sq. ft. per...
I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment. The provision of seats in shops for shop assistants was debated at some length when I introduced a new Clause about sitting facilities on the Report stage. As the hon. Member for Ogmore (Mr. Padley) forecast, the Opposition returned to this subject in another place. It was argued that some employers might locate...
I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment. This Amendment anticipates the two following Amendments which delete the references to young persons in Clause 19. Since the term "young person" will then appear only in. Clause 18, it is desirable for drafting reasons to transfer the definition from Clause 88 to Clause 18. This Amendment therefore puts the...
