HC Deb 12 July 1938 vol 338 cc1197-8

Lords Amendment: In page 9, line 8, after "employer," insert: or an organisation of employers of which he is a member.

7.42 p.m.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This Amendment carries out an undertaking given by the Minister to my hon. Friend the Member for South Croydon (Mr. H. G. Williams) to look into the matter. It enables the C licence holder to leave the matter of applying for a review of the decision of the Industrial Court in the hands of his own organisation.

Mr. Benjamin Smith

Does this mean that the individual employer is to get no locus at all? What will happen if he is not a member of any organisation?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

It enables either the individual employer or the organisation representing him to make the application.

Colonel Sandeman Allen

I should like to thank the Government for the insertion of this Amendment. It is one of the points that I pressed during the Committee stage.

Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment," put, and agreed to.
