Lastly, I turn to Amendments 188 and 192, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe of Epsom, which concern commencement. We have always said that the Bill must work in practice, not just on paper. That is why we are committed to consultation and taking a staggered approach to implementation, as per our road map. These timelines have been carefully considered to ensure that implementation works for employees and businesses of all sizes, in all sectors. We are taking a measured and phased approach to implementation to ensure that the reforms are practical, workable and sustainable. I therefore ask the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral, to withdraw Amendment 158A on behalf of the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe of Epsom.
