The committee agrees with the concerns expressed to the effect that a minority is being given legislated power to act in a manner that could be seen to be against the wishes of the majority.

In the interests of natural justice the committee is of the opinion that the Registrar should only be required to take action pursuant to clauses 38 and 40 on a written request signed by at least 50% of the relevant employees.

And accordingly -

In the schedule attached to this report the Committee suggests amendments to the bill to give effect to this deletion.

Amendments agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (8.15): I move:

Page 19, line 20, omit all the words after "consult", substitute "such of the employees affected as the Registrar considers appropriate.".

This relates to involved unions again and I merely reiterate what I have already said.

Question put:

That the amendment be agreed to.
