Mr. Ian Talbot:

We have not engaged directly with Deputy David Cullinane on this. We have engaged with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. At the risk of repeating myself too often, it is disproportionate. There is a very small cohort of potential issues. Many people are in jobs around the country where variable hours suit them. The Bill seems to be a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It will affect a huge number of companies and employment contracts to which it is not relevant. We continue to believe the Bill is disproportionate.
