It is equally important to consider other amendments that simplify the notification process, such as the proposals from the noble Lord, Lord Hendy, to make ballot results more accessible online and adjustments to notice periods in sectors where disruption carries serious consequences, such as rail—to my cost—and aviation. I am sceptical of the proposal from His Majesty’s Opposition to remove the clause from the Bill. This could risk causing unnecessary confusion for industry and employers, who need clarity to prepare for the legal challenges and changes the Bill would introduce. Removing provisions at this stage could undermine certainty and complicate planning, making it harder for all parties to understand their rights and obligations under a new framework.
