§ Margaret Hodge[holding answer 10 June 2002]: The information requested is contained in the table.
my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and industry has been placed in the Library of both Houses.
The Commission's proposal would, as it stands, require that agency workers in schools did not receive less favourable basic working and employment conditions than comparable permanent workers. The proposal contains limited derogations from this requirement, which may be applicable in some cases. The proposal is subject 821W to the co-decision procedure and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry remains in dialogue with other member countries and the Commission.
