January 31, 2023
The Government notes the statement from the Chamber and reminds them that meetings were held with the Chamber on this subject, their views were received orally and in writing and that those views affected changes which the Government made to the legislation.
The Chamber's written feedback was on a draft of a Bill that was the basis on which the regulations have now been finalised.
Additionally, the parties that make up the Government put in their election manifesto that we would introduce this law and the vast majority of the voting public, by three to one in 2015 and by two to one in 2019 decided that, contrary to the Chamber's view, that such a law was necessary.
