I have had a number of meetings already and I hope to conclude the talks in the next few months. It is only fair to say there are still fairly major differences of opinion and that these will remain. The FUE would not wish to see any radical alterations in the present structures for part-time workers and the Deputy will know the ICTU are anxious that there will be pro rata entitlements for part-time workers. I have to give consideration to both of those views and come to a balance. I have said previously in this House that because there is a major change in the structures of work — the number of part-time workers has grown from just over 40,000 ten years ago to over 60,000 now, which is effectively just over 5 per cent of the workforce — there is a need to give more protection to people working in the part-time category for under 18 hours, but a balance must be struck on that. Surveys have shown that the highest proportion of part-time workers are females, that up to 46 per cent of those are in part-time employment because that is what suits their family circumstances. Against that there are people who are permanently part-time workers, who have no entitlements to holidays, maternity leave or redundancy payments and have no redress in the case of unfair dismissal. That seems unfair, so I am trying to edge both sides towards a consensus. I would be very glad to be able to deal with the issue tomorrow but, to be realistic, it will take another few months to get to the stage of a set of proposals which I can bring before this House.
