Finally, we must not ignore the broader context. As has been noted throughout Committee, the employment tribunals are already under considerable strain. Adding further cases, particularly where the worker has chosen not to act, risks delaying justice to those with legitimate pressing claims they wish to pursue in their own name. I must therefore question whether this extraordinary Clause 113 is necessary at all and whether its costs and consequences truly serve the public good. I urge the Government to withdraw or, at best, seriously reconsider the clause.
