HC Deb 09 July 1987 vol 119 c199W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether his Department has assessed the effect of the implementation of the proposals of the White Paper, "Building Businesses—Not Barriers," on those employees at present working less than 20 hours per week; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholls

The proposals are still under consideration. The position of existing employees will be taken into account when detailed proposals are drawn up.
