§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his policy regarding employers who give contracts of employment for only one year at a time, and whose contracts seek to exclude the employee from rights which are dependent on having more than one year's employment.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerThe conditions relating to a contract of employment, including its term, are a matter for the parties alone to decide and not a matter for Government intervention. Provided that there is no break in service, a number of fixed-term contracts will be aggregated for the purposes of the employment right; legislation.
