Public Examination Background Paper 4 Employment

The JPU has produced a series of Background Papers focusing on those elements of the submitted CSS that have resulted in significant objections and where further explanation may be helpful in demonstrating the soundness of the plan. These papers are intended to assist the Inspector in preparing for the Hearing Sessions; provide the JPU’s broad response to objections relating to the soundness of the CSS; and help participants to focus their further submissions and, where possible, agree common ground with the JPU. For matters not addressed in the background papers, the JPU intends to rely largely on the evidence submitted with the CSS and referred to in the Soundness Self Assessment Statement (Ref. 414). Where appropriate, further amplification of the JPU’s position will be provided in written statements on the Matters and Issues for examination to be identified by the Inspector and in response to statements submitted by objectors.
