Asked by:
Sir Christopher Chope (Conservative)

The Government has received many representations on this significant judgment about holiday pay. My Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills has convened a Taskforce of business representatives and Government departments to assess how we can limit the negative impact on business and jobs.

We are also discussing the implications of the judgment with a wide range of other representative bodies.
