§ Lord Tebbitasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by Lord Sainsbury of Turville on 5 March (WA 14), whether they will either veto any proposals for the enforcement of the proposed directive to establish a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European Community or decline to implement it because of its conflict with the doctrine of subsidiarity. [HL1196]
§ Lord Sainsbury of TurvilleI set out in my previous Answer the Government's view of the proposed directive, which is subject to agreement by qualified majority vote. The directive has not been agreed so there is no requirement to implement it in the UK.
