HC Deb 24 November 1978 vol 958 c778W
Mr. Paul Dean

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will name the organisations to which he circulated as a consultative document the draft regulation the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1978; by what date he requested comments; and when he expects to lay regulations before Parliament.

Mr. Harold Walker

Approximately 300 copies of the draft regulation were sent in June to both the TUC and the CBI to enable them to conduct their own consultations. Copies have also been sent to the following organisations:

  • The Law Society
  • Senate of the Inns of Court and the Bar
  • Insolvency Practitioners' Association
  • Association of Certified Accountants
  • Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales
  • Institute of Chartered Accountants for Scotland
  • The Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies in England & Wales
  • The Law Society of Scotland
  • Faculty of Advocates
  • British Institute of Management
  • Employment Appeal Tribunal
  • Central Office of the Industrial Tribunals
  • Stock Exchange
  • Panel on Take-overs and Mergers

Comments were requested not later than 15th September 1978. I expect to lay regulations before Parliament early next year.
