I understand what my noble friend has said. The Government do not intend that single-chairman hearings should be limited to straightforward monetary disputes. I got that quite wrong. I thought that was what he said, but it obviously is not. My shorthand is not good enough to take down what he said but, as I understand it, he spelt out, I think, five jurisdictions where the single-chairman hearings are supposed to operate. I am quite certain that two of those were breach of contract hearings and national minimum wage hearings. Where there is a dispute on the issues, I cannot imagine jurisdictions that are more important.
