HC Deb 31 July 1997 vol 299 c640W
Mr. Stunell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what measures she proposes to transfer the legal responsibility enforcing terms and conditions of employment from employees to employers; and if she will make a statement. [11092]

Mr. Ian McCartney

Generally, terms and conditions of employment are a matter for agreement between employer and employee. Where one party breaches the contract, it is for the other party to seek enforcement.
