To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what new proposals he has to improve consultation between employees and employers. [157938]

Mr. Alan Johnson

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry announced to the House on 18 January plans for a review of UK arrangements affecting collective redundancies. The review, which is ongoing, is examining how current provisions have operated in practice and whether more should be done to promote effective consultation with employees.
