I move amendment No. 6:

In page 10, line 32, to delete “, solicitor or trade union official” and substitute “or solictor”.

This is to clarify the position on disclosures to a legal adviser or a trade union official. In practice, we presume a trade union official has legal credentials or some scope to advise an individual or guide him or her. The amendment provides for a workers' representative, whether a trade union official or someone assigned within the organisation to deal with protected disclosures.
