Annotation	Age discrimination in employment and vocational training will become unlawful on 1 October 2006. This is the first consultation devoted solely to proposals for age legislation relating to the European Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation (Council Directive 2000/78/EC). Sections cover: outlawing age discrimination; retirement age; unfair dismissal; statutory redundancy payments; recruitment, selection and promotion; pay and non-pay benefits; and cross-cutting issues (that is, other strands of discrimination in employment). In the light of responses to this consultation, there will be consultation on draft regulations in the first half of 2004; and with an aim for legislation to be laid before Parliament by the end of 2004.
