HC Deb 13 December 1994 vol 251 c548W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether the introduction of automated first registration and licensing involves a transfer of an undertaking from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency to motor dealers within the meaning of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981.

Mr. Norris

This is an operational matter for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. I have asked the chief executive to write to the hon. Member.

Letter from Stephen Curtis to Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody, dated 13 December 1994: Thank you for your recent question about the application of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 to the Automated First Registration and Licensing Project. Interpretation of the law is for the Courts and this matter has not been tested in this way. However as always I would be very happy to discuss such matters with members of the staff and their representatives if they consider it would be helpful.
