The noble Lord is seeking to add a sunset clause to this measure, which, as he well knows, would undermine the policy intent. However, I reassure him that it is our intention that the implementation plan, whose arrival we all anticipate, will be made available shortly. I reassure your Lordships that the Government will closely monitor the impact of extending time limits on the employment tribunal system. We intend to conduct a post-implementation plan for the Bill within five years of implementation. This will provide enough time to assess the policy’s effectiveness and gather sufficient data for evaluation purposes, meaning that the amendment is unnecessary. I therefore ask the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, to withdraw Amendment 279GA.
