Proceeding contribution from Lord Clark of Windermere (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Industrial Action: Lindsey Oil Refinery.


Industrial Action: Lindsey Oil Refinery

My Lords, I declare an interest as a director of Sellafield Ltd, although what I am going to say has nothing to do with Sellafield. The Minister, in a very temperate and moderate Statement today which I think we can all agree with, laid great emphasis on the European directive that any subcontractor winning a contract within the European Union can quite reasonably bring forward its own permanent staff. Am I to believe that that is restricted to permanent staff, and that the subcontractor would not be allowed to recruit additional staff in the home country to the exclusion of people in the host country?
