UK faces defeat on working week limit

Article Abstract:

European legislation to introduce a maximum working week of 48 hours is opposed by the UK government. However, the Organisation of Working Time Directive is likley to be introduced in the rest of the European Community. A draft directive has been issued by the European Commission that will regulate the working hours of people aged between 15 and 18. New regulations in the UK mean all planning applications must be publicised in order to allow all interested parties to comment.

Tenant's charter goes up for debate

Article Abstract:

Part One of the United Kingdom Housing and Urban Devlopment Bill 1992 deals with leasehold reform which allows most long-term flat leaseholders to purchase at market value the freehold of the building. Secure tenants have the right to purchase their homes if they have been a tenant for 2 years paying full rent. Tenants can use the rent money to pay for a mortgage. There are provisions for tenants to be more involved in housing management.
