Mr. Wiggin

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what her assessment is of the impact of the Employment Relations Act 1999. [70885]

Alan Johnson

We believe that the Employment Relations Act 1999 is having a generally positive impact on employment relations. However, in line with our previous commitments, on 11 July 2002 my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry announced a review of the detailed operation of the Act.
