Proceeding contribution from John Heppell (Labour) 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

We are not talking about something that happened 30 years ago, but about the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. My point was that those regulations apply across industry. So far, the hon. Gentleman has not provided any examples of companies that, as a result of the regulations, have had to cope with some bad or terrible burden. If the existing regulations are okay for those firms, why would it be such a problem if we applied the same ones to private equity?
