Latest government Employment Rights Bill amendment paper just dropped. Includes plan to repeal unfair dismissal compensation cap entirely. My head has exploded. publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbi...
 Leave out Clause 23 and insert the following new Clause—
“Right not to be unfairly dismissed: qualifying period and compensatory awards
(1) Part 10 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (unfair dismissal) is amended in accordance with subsections (2) and (3).
(2) In section 108 (qualifying period of employment)—
(a) (b) in subsection (1), for “two years” substitute “six months”;
in subsection (2), for ““two years”” substitute ““six months””.
(3) Omit section 124 (limit of compensatory award etc).
(4) In section 209 of that Act (powers to amend Act), in subsection (5), omit “108(1),”. 
(5) Schedule (Minor and consequential amendments relating to section (Right not
to be unfairly dismissed: qualifying period and compensatory awards) ) contains
minor and consequential amendments relating to this section.”
