HC Deb 30 July 1975 vol 896 cc1972-3
Mr. Booth

I beg to move Amendment No. 33, in page 14, line 30, leave out 'employees' and insert 'workers'.

The effect of the amendment is similar to that of a previous amendment. This widens the duty of employers to disclose information so that it applies to workers and not just to employees.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. Booth

I beg to move Amendment No. 34, in page 14, line 35, leave out '12(8)' and insert '15'.

This is consequential to Amendment No. 30, which transfers the provisions of the Bill concerning an operative recommendation for recognition to Clause 15.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 35, in page 14, line 36, leave out '18' and insert '19'.

No. 36, in page 14, line 39, at end insert: '(2A) Where a request for information is made by trade union representatives under this section, the request shall, if the employer so requests, be in writing or be confirmed in writing'.—[Mr. Booth.]
