Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) 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

This reinforces my point about the need for more pre-legislative scrutiny. We are talking about legislation that may have unintended consequences—consequences that the hon. Member for Nottingham, East does not want. It could adversely affect investment in this country, and it could also have a negative impact on jobs. Does my hon. Friend agree that there should be much wider consultation, rather than our saying ““Let us kick the Bill upstairs into Committee and see where it goes from there””, which would pose a huge danger to future investment?
