I move amendment No. 1:


In page 4, lines 28 to 36, to delete subsection (2).
One of the central elements of the legislation is the proposal to freeze the increments of public sector workers who do not sign up to the agreement. I raised this on Second Stage and I will not go over the same ground again. I do not have any expectation that the Minister will withdraw this threat but I cannot allow the opportunity to pass without trying to amend this provision and hoping he will take this on board.
