Ms Patricia King:

It is probably not that reasonable and I will outline why that is. It is because we have a labour market that has a very high propensity towards small- and medium-sized businesses, and we should not be including such divisions in the labour market and not giving the same rights and entitlements to people just because they work in a small business. There are other ways of handling those exigencies, but I am not in favour of causing any further division within the labour market.
