Employment Tribunals

Lord Davies of Coity Excerpts

Monday 18th June 2012 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Wilcox]

The Government are committed to a fair and flexible labour market that helps businesses to manage their staff productively. Nothing in the Bill removes individual employment rights and neither should it intend to. It is very important that we encourage businesses to take on more staff. That is what we require. That is what we all need, but we need a flexible workforce and flexible employers so that, as the world changes around them, they can make the changes that they need.

[Lord Davies of Coity]

My Lords, will the Minister advise me on an issue—

[Noble Lords]

Order.
