HC Deb 27 March 1985 vol 76 c232W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether the sale of Sealink was covered by the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 (SI 1794).

Mr. Ridley

BR sold Sealink UK Ltd. by selling the entire share capital of the company. I am advised that the regulations would not apply in those circumstances, since the change in ownership of the company did not disturb existing terms of employment with Sealink UK Ltd.
