§ Mr. BoothI beg to move Amendment No. 32, in page 13, line 18, after 'may' insert ', after hearing the parties,'.
This amendment is necessary to require the Central Arbitration Committee, if it finds a complaint agains an employer of failure to recognise a trade union wholly or partly well-founded, to hear the parties before deciding whether to make an award as to terms and conditions of employment.
It is necessary to be absolutely clear for the important rights of the use of arbitration against employers in terms and conditions, that any complaint of this nature should be fully resolved. I hope it will commend itself to the House.
§ Amendment agreed to.
