Together, these amendments bring some clarity, proportionality and pragmatism to Clause 55. They ensure that the right to a statement of trade union rights is respected and protected while avoiding unintended negative consequences for small employers and unnecessary procedural burdens. We must ask ourselves: if the Government’s own assessment admits that small employers are disproportionately impacted, if larger businesses do not benefit and if no evidence exists that this measure is needed, why are we doing it at all?
