Employment Bill [HL]

I agree with some points made by my noble friend Lord Wedderburn on proposed new subsection (3AA)(b) of Section 7 of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996, which seems to be redundant. On the Free Representation Unit, almost every day I pass a notice which refers to it when I leave my home in Temple. I assure Members of the Committee that it exists. Because of the important points made by the noble Baroness, Lady Gardner of Parkes, it seems to me that if the phrase ““independent advice”” was modified by an additional word, ““qualified””, that would be satisfactory.
