HL Deb 10 April 2003 vol 647 c50WA
Lord Jopling

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether in the next review of the working time regulations they will support the concerns of the Motorsport Industry Association. [HL2370]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Lord Sainsbury of Turville)

The Government recognise the importance of the working time opt-out to the motorsport industry and other industries and will take into account their concerns when negotiating with the Commission on its review of the opt-out. Of course the Government will make certain that they are closely involved in the review process to ensure the best possible outcome for the UK.
