Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Friday, 7 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Private Equity (Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment) Bill.


Private Equity (Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment) Bill

I am a little confused, because as I understand it, all the rights to which the hon. Gentleman is referring are automatically conveyed on the employees of a company that is subject to a share takeover by virtue of existing legislation. I am struggling to understand the need for additional legislation when all those rights still apply.
