The European Commission pressed ahead yesterday with controversial plans to curb Britain's opt-out on the maximum 48-hour working week. The Confederation of British Industry vowed to fight the new rules "tooth and nail", saying that the proposal would undercut British labour laws by giving trade unions a veto on working hours and would entail a fresh deluge of costly paperwork.
