Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he plans to undertake a consultation on the transposition of the Posting of Workers Directive (96/71/EC) into domestic law.
The UK has already implemented the Posting of Workers Directive (96/71/EC). Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK will need to implement the recent Directive amending the Posting of Workers Directive (2018/957/EU) by 30 July 2020. We intend to consult on the implementation of this Directive later this year. This will give us enough time to pass the necessary legislation, if any is required.
