As a matter of interest, what is the required notice period, and did you find it in writing anywhere?0

That would be the statutory notice if they were giving you notice.
However, unless your contract happens to say that (which is possible) then he is probably getting confused!0 -

Many people park on double yellow lines without getting a ticket but that doesn't make it lawful!0 -
I’m not suggesting it but I’m just quite frankly saying what happened in experience! All depends on circumstances, people don’t know what goes on in people’s personal life0

Do not take his word, their agenda may be quite different from yours.
Look out your written statement of particulars, notice period should be contained there.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0 -

I will definitely be working my notice period!
Another option is to ask for your notice period to be reduced. Some employers don't like people who have already resigned hanging around and are happy to get rid of you sooner.0 -
