HC Deb 30 March 1993 vol 222 cc106-7W
Ms Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans she has to ensure that the written statement of terms and conditions received by employees working over eight hours a week includes details about redundancy selection procedures.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

I have no such plans.

Ms Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what evidence her Department has that employers are unilaterally changing their employees' terms and conditions.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

We have received a number of letters to this effect, but employers cannot with impunity breach their contracts of employment with their employees.

Ms Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans she has to publicise the new right to a written statement of terms and conditions.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

When the relevant provisions of the Trade Union Reform and Employment Rights Bill come into force, the Department will issue a revised booklet, free of charge, explaining the right to receive a written statement of main terms and conditions of employment.
