I move amendment No. 76:

In page 42, to delete line 23 and substitute the following:"(a) the time periods referred to in:

(i) section 55(1)(d)(iii)setting a minimum of two weeks;

(ii) section 56,

and".

The amendment intends to ensure there will be a time period. I acknowledge that the Minister of State has in amendment No. 77 met that. Of course, I pushed the boat out with a further ambition that there would not simply be a 14-day, but a 30-day, concession or time period. However, given that he has moved towards me on the 14 days, I will not press the 30 days. I hope that colleagues may take that up to further increase our ambition in terms of consultation.

I acknowledge amendment No. 77 and I will withdraw amendment No. 76 in that context. I will not press amendment No. 78.
