I move amendment No. 19:

In page 6, to delete lines 31 to 35.

This amendment proposes to delete the following part of the Bill:

(c) The Minister shall not make an order— (i) to which paragraph (a) applies, before the expiration of 12 months after the commencement of section 5, or

(ii) to which paragraph (b) applies, before the expiration of 12 months after the commencement of the immediately preceding order under this section.

It proposes to get rid of the 12-month element of the Bill. The Minister should not have to wait 12 months before improving the conditions of workers.
