Ms Quin

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assessment he has made of the compatibility of the proposals in the Deregulation and Contracting Out Bill with existing obligations under European Community legislation currently in force.

I am satisfied that the proposals in the Deregulation and Contracting Out Bill, if enacted, would be consistent with the United Kingdom's European Community obligations.
