CONCILIATION (Hansard, 29 October 1975)

HC Deb 29 October 1975 vol 898 c1609 1609

§ Lords Amendment: No. 2, in page 2, line 29, leave out subsection (4) and insert: (4) The Service shall designate officers of the Service to perform the functions of conciliation officers under any enactment (including any provision of this Act or any Act passed after this Act) in respect of matters which are or could be the subject of proceedings before an industrial tribunal, and accordingly any reference in any such enactment to a conciliation officer is a reference to an officer designated under this subsection.

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

§ Mr. Speaker
With this amendment we shall discuss Lords Amendment No. 231.

§ Mr. Booth
The effect of Lords Amendment No. 2 is to redraft subsection (4) to specify that ACAS is to designate officers of the Service to act as conciliation officers. Lords Amendment No. 231 is a consequential amendment as a result of Clause 2(4). I therefore commend the amendments to the House.

§ Question put and agreed to.
