HC Deb 09 December 1981 vol 14 c409W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the organisations with which he has had consultations on the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981; and if any of the organisations has expressed objection.

Mr. Waddington

Under the previous Administration consultations on the draft regulations were held with the TUC and CBI in the usual way. In addition, a number of organisations have written to the Department with comments. These include:

  • The Insolvency Practitioners' Association.
  • The Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies.
  • The Law Society of Scotland.
  • British Institute of Management.
  • The Committee of London Clearing Banks.
  • The Stock Exchange.
  • Panel on Take-overs and Mergers.
  • The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators.
  • Imperial Chemical Industries Limited.
  • The National Federation of Clay Industries Ltd.

Most of these organisations expressed some dissatisfaction with one or more of the provisions, and their views have been taken into account as far as possible, within the constraints of the directive that the regulations are to implement.
