HC Deb 25 June 1982 vol 26 c538

Lords amendment: No. 17, in page 41, line 11, leave out "twelve weeks" and insert "three months"

Mr. Rossi

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

The amendments bring the definition of short contract workers in the statutory sick pay scheme into line with that in the employment protection legislation. I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Brighouse and Spenborough (Mr. Waller) for raising the matter originally.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 18 to 27 agreed to.
