One aspect of the Bill that I wish specifically to mention is the inclusion of pay and pension entitlements of fixed-term workers. This entitlement is covered under the definition of remuneration set out in the interpretation section of the Bill, section 2. The Government has decided to include pay and pensions in the Bill as a deliberate policy initiative, without prejudice to continuing to maintain the validity of the legal advice received to the effect that, because of the wording of Article 137.6 of the treaty, such inclusion cannot be regarded as obligatory under directive 99/70.
