That this House notes with concern that, while pensioners over the age of 60 years can claim a winter fuel payment of ú150 a year, there are one million severely disabled people under the age of 60 years who are not eligible for the payment, many of whom feel the cold intensely and cannot afford to heat their homes adequately; and therefore calls on the Government to extend the winter fuel payment to disabled people who receive the middle or the higher rate of the disability living allowance care component or the higher rate of the mobility component.

That this House notes that a recent decision of an employment tribunal suggested that employee representatives should be consulted in collective redundancy situations only after the management has made a firm decision as to who should be made redundant; notes that this is contrary to Article 2 of the Collective Redundancies Directive which states 'Where an employer is contemplating collective redundancies, he shall begin consultation with the workers' representative in good time with a view to reaching agreement'; notes that the trade union MSF has complained to the European Commission about the implementation in the UK of the Collective Redundancies Directive; and therefore asks Her Majesty's Government to set up discussions between the relevant parties on how best to ensure that the full meaning and original intent of the Collective Redundancies Directive is implemented and upheld.
