At first sight, Amendment 283 might seem like a long list but, in fact, it is not half of how this Bill will reach into working life. The amendment would require the Secretary of State to publish a code of practice that provides employers with guidance on complying with the Act. The code should set out best practice, compliance monitoring and enforcement procedures. It should ensure necessary consultation with stakeholders and would enshrine a review every five years. We need to see a draft of this code before this Bill progresses to its final stage; I would be happy to discuss with the Government how to make this happen. I beg to move Amendment 1.
