Amendments 155 to 159 would remove the ministerial power to prevent any of the currently permitted matters being discussed. Amendment 161 would remove the requirement for the Minister to authorise discussion on permitted matters. Amendments 163 to 166, 168, 169, 171 and 172 would make the output of the process a minimum floor, thus permitting subsequent or prior agreement for more beneficial terms. Amendment 177 would remove ministerial representatives and confine membership of the body to unions and employers. Amendment 179 would permit the SSSNB to determine its own constitution, allowing intervention by the Minister only if it cannot agree its constitution.
