Clause 16 - Transfer of property, &c.
National Lottery Bill
11:15 am
Andrew Turner (Shadow Minister (Charities), (Assisted By Shadow Law Officers); Isle of Wight, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 103, in clause 16, page 10, line 27, after ‘section’, insert
‘or section 36E of the principal Act’.
This is a simple amendment, and I shall make a short speech. Subsection (8) refers to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981, and says that
“nothing in this section shall affect the operation”
of those regulations, which are important to the employees of the funds that are to be dissolved.
Section 36E, which we have agreed to add to the principal Act, gives the power to the Secretary of State to make directions on the employment of staff in particular. The directions may also have consequences on their terms and conditions of employment. I am looking for an assurance from the Minister that nothing in that new section will affect the operation of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981.
