HC Deb 10 July 1997 vol 297 c606W
30. Mr. Pike

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proposals he has for the forthcoming jobs summit to be held in Luxembourg in the autumn. [6208]

Mr. Gordon Brown

As I made clear in my "Getting Europe Back to Work" initiative before the Amsterdam European Council it is vital, if we are to create real and lasting jobs throughout Europe, that we combine measures to promote job creation and social cohesion in Europe. At the Luxembourg summit we will need to learn from each other on the most successful ways of tackling unemployment. My Budget last week, and in particular my announcements on Welfare to Work, are a key part of the UK's efforts.
