Most recent appearances
- European Union Documents: Civil Aviation Bill (22 May 2012)
“The Minister said that the Department has had conversations with the staff and their representatives. Can she give us any more information about that, because—as she will be well aware—one of the concerns we raised during the passage of the Bill was about the loss of expertise if staff did not follow their jobs to the CAA?”
- European Union Documents: Civil Aviation Bill (22 May 2012)
“The Minister said that the consultation document will be published “soon”. During the passage of the Bill, we have talked about future legislation that would enable environmental concerns to be addressed, so can she tell me what “soon” means in this context?”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Employment Law (Beecroft Report) (21 May 2012)
“Out of the 36 richest countries, Britain is 34th for employment protection. That means it is already very easy to get rid of people in Britain. What evidence does the Minister have that his policy will do anything for growth, rather than making people more frightened of losing their jobs and not spend their money?”
