Early Day Motion’ from the Conservatives on AWD
APSCo are reporting that Conservative party members, including David Cameron have tabled a motion against the Agency Workers Directive (Temporary Workers Directive).
One suspects this could be a pre-election rally to the agencies and contracting community, but could be very good news should it lead to the demise of this directive.
Members of the Conservative party front bench including, David Cameron, Jonathan Djanogly, John Penrose, Mark Prisk, Jeremy Wright, and Patrick McLoughlin have tabled the following EDM seeking to revoke the Government‟s AWD regulations:
That the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (S.I., 2010, No. 93), dated 20 January 2010, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21 January, be revoked.
A motion endorsed by the leader of the official opposition, David Cameron, in theory has to be debated on the floor of the House of Commons. However, with the dissolution of parliament looming as the General Election approaches there may not be time enough for this to take place.
