§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secetary of State for Employment what part he plans to play in the proposed European Commission into Full Employment.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythI assume that the hon. Member is referring to the Commission's communication, "Community-wide Framework for Employment". The Social Affairs Council which I attended on 1 June 1993 welcomed the communication as a valuable contribution to the process of seeking solutions to unemployment, whilst recognising that the primary responsibility for employment policies lies with the member states. The United Kingdom awaits specific proposals from the European Commission.
