HC Deb 21 July 1965 vol 716 c1781

Amendment made: Amendment No. 80, Clause 50, in page 39, line 39, at end insert: (3) In this Act any reference to the Government of an overseas territory shall be construed in accordance with subsection (6) of section (Employment under Government of overseas territory) of this Act.—[Mr. Thornton.]

The Solicitor-General

I beg to move Amendment No. 81, Clause 50, in page 39, line 39, at the end to insert: (3) For the purposes of this Act it is immaterial whether the law which (apart from this Act) governs any person's employment is the law of Great Britain, or of a part of Great Britain, or not. This is a technical Amendment. It is designed to make it clear that where the parties to a contract chose that their legal relationship should be governed by the law of a foreign country, then provided always that the requirements of the Bill are satisfied, the redundancy payment will nevertheless be payable.

Amendment agreed to.
