We were discussing a balance. Going from 20 weeks to two does not seem balanced. We are trying to implement a scheme that nearly all employers will abide by, but for those that do not, there has to be a sanction. Two weeks is not an adequate sanction. I welcome that the Minister of State will revert with something more robust.
