THE further employment legislation proposed by the Government is both woolly and ineffectual. It panders to the compensation culture and is another opportunity to make lawyers rich.

Worse, it is yet another reason to persuade small businesses to not employ women under any circumstances where it can be avoided.

Political correctness is now the scourge of the modern age.
