Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 June 2025
Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
Seventhly, the employers and the unions are unable to decide for themselves the size and composition of the body; that is in the exclusive power of the relevant Minister, who will determine how members may be appointed to each body, including the chairperson and third parties, who must not represent employers or unions in the sector. They will have voting rights, if the Minister chooses, in the case of the ASCNB, but not in the case of the SSSNB. Employers and unions may not choose their own chair and, in the case of the SSSNB, must not select one of their representatives as chair, thus precluding the usual arrangement of alternating the chair between the two sides.
