§ Ms. RichardsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what the response of the British Government is to proposals from the European Community for a council directive on a form of proof of an employment relationship.
§ Mr. ForthThe Government support the principle that, in general, workers should receive a written statement of their main terms and conditions of employment. The law in the United Kingdom already provides for this. The Government see no need for European Community legislation on this matter.
