HC Deb 05 February 2001 vol 362 c401W
Mr. Davidson

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the proposed timetable is for(a) discussions between the TUC, the CBI and the Government on the incorporation into UK law of the EU directive on Consultation and Information and (b) for bringing necessary legislation before the House; and if he will make a statement. [148125]

Mr. Alan Johnson

The proposed EU directive establishing a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European Community has not been adopted by the Council of Ministers. Therefore there is no timetable for its implementation in the UK.
