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

Some of the information has been provided to me. It is stated that such protections are included in the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004, which implement the EU information and consultation directive, 2002/14/EC, and in the Companies Act 1985, which will be replaced by the Companies Act 2006. That legislation has been cited to me as containing the relevant protections, but in reality it does not give the same protection as TUPE.
