  <p class="indent" pid="a.1471.3/6" pwmotiontext="unrecognized">As an amendment to the above motion, at the end to insert "but that this House regrets that the Order will unnecessarily diminish the employment rights of employees, will have little or no effect on employers' likelihood of taking on new staff, encourages the use of dismissals in place of good management practice, and is opposed by trades unions; believes that employees should always get a written reason for their dismissal; and calls on the Government to place a report into the effect of the changes before Parliament, 18 months after the approval of the Order".</p>
