We are not planning to look at this again. A company wishing to undertake swine flu checks on its entire staff would do so for both humane and business continuity reasons. It is ultimately a commercial decision for the company. There are intense efforts across Government to ensure, through the national health service, an appropriate response to any future swine flu pandemic, and that will proceed as normal, regardless of where people work.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
