HC Deb 22 November 1973 vol 864 cc489-90W
Mr. Roper

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will support in the Council of Ministers the proposal made by the Commission of the European Communities that the Council of Ministers should resolve to improve living and working conditions enabling the upward equalization thereof to take place.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

I welcome the objective of improving living and working conditions as one of the elements of a Community social action programme but careful consideration will need to be given to measures to help achieve this objective.
