Part of Employment Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 5:30 pm on 14 October 2008.
On the question of the clause and the 1973 Act, we feel that the extension of criminal chargeability is valid and justifiable in these circumstances. We have seen instances where the existing powers are not adequate, just as we said that we saw that the powers were not adequate when discussing clause 11. To that extent, we have not tabled any amendments and will support the clause.
