The Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017 commenced Report Stage on Wednesday. I was advised by Deputy Pringle that the Business Committee has not scheduled that Bill for discussion over the next two weeks. We need an explanation for that, because thousands of workers, both rural and urban, are waiting for this Bill to go through. It is hugely anticipated and it should be progressed over the next two weeks. We cannot leave this legislation until after the summer recess.
