HC Deb 27 March 1991 vol 188 cc1055-6

That this House takes note of European Community Documents Nos. 8073/90 on organisation of working time, 8792/90 and 4112/91 on the protection of pregnant women at work and 8075/90 on temporary and mobile work sites; endorses the conclusions of the Madrid and Rome European Councils that measures taken in the field of social affairs should have full regard to the effects on job creation, to the principle of subsidiarity and to the diversity of national traditions and practices; and supports the Government's view that the proposals on temporary and mobile work sites broadly meet these criteria, that the proposals on the organisation of working time do not, and that the proposals on the protection of pregnant women at work require to be more closely focused on health and safety in order to do so.—[Mr. Greg Knight.]

Question agreed to.
