Summary
Code of Practice on Dismissal and Re-Engagement Lord Offord of Garvel moved that the draft Code laid before the House on 19 February be approved. Then Lord Woodley moved, as an amendment to the motion, at end to insert “but this House regrets that the draft Code contains no effective measures to restrain unjustified use of fire and rehire; and fails to include any measures (1) contained in the Employment and Trade Union Rights (Dismissal and Re-engagement) Bill [HL], or (2) recommended by the International Labour Organization Committee on Freedom of Association’s Definitive Report 404 published in October 2023 on the matter of dismissals of 786 staff by P&O Ferries Limited.” After debate, the amendment was withdrawn. Then the original motion was agreed to.
