Part-Time Workers Directive (Hansard, 19 September 2002)

HC Deb 19 September 2002 vol 390 c167W 167W

§ Dr. Cable
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the(a) one off administration costs and (b) ongoing recurring costs to May 2002 for the Part-Time Workers Directive were; and if she will make a statement. [73135]

§ Alan Johnson
The Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 came into force on 1 July 2000, transposing the Part-time Work Directive into British law. Under the Regulatory Impact Assessment for the Regulations which the Government published at the time, total recurring costs were estimated to be £27.4 million per year. The one off administration costs were estimated to be negligible.
