216K: Schedule 6, page 247, line 2, leave out from “(6)” to end of line 4 and insert “— (a) the period of 20 working days starting with the day after the day on which the CAC gives the union (or unions) notice under paragraph 111(5) or 115(5) that the application is accepted, or(b) such longer period (so starting) as the CAC may specify to the parties by notice containing reasons for the extension.”Member’s explanatory statement This amendment would provide that, where an application under Part 4 of Schedule A1 to the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (derecognition) has been made, the period for agreeing terms on which the trade union concerned is to have access to the relevant workers in connection with the application is 20 working days following notification that the application is accepted. The amendment would also enable the Central Arbitration Committee to specify a longer period.
