§ Mr. Bradleyasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if 238W her Department will consider initiating, in consultation with the Trades Union Congress, a planned programme of exchanges between younger trade unionists in Great Britain and their counterparts in the member states of the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. HattersleyThere are a number of schemes which assist young trade unionists and other young workers in this country to obtain industrial experience in the countries of the E.E.C., and for young workers from E.E.C. countries to come here for a similar purpose. In addition, exchanges of young workers are arranged by direct contact between employers in different countries. I think that the present arrangements are adequate for the purposes my hon. Friend has in mind.
