HC Deb 24 April 2001 vol 367 c252W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what proportion of senior grade civil servants in each Department have signed waivers for(a) working time rights and (b) other social chapter rights; and if she will make a statement. [158328]

Marjorie Mowlam

Information on the proportion of senior civil servants who have, under the working time regulations, entered into voluntary agreements to work more than 48 hours a week is not held centrally. It could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Social chapter rights do not give rise to waivers in other circumstances.
