§ Mr. David Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the bodies consulted concerning nominations to the Fondation Européenne pour l'Amélioration des Conditions de Vie et de Travail for positions falling vacant in March 1979.
§ Mr. John Grant, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 7 March 1979; Vol. 963, c. 659–60], gave the following information:
The United Kingdom have been consulted by the Council of the European Communities concerning the nomination of a United Kingdom Government representative and alternate on the administrative board of the Fondation Européenne pour l'Améloration des Conditions de Vie et de Travail (the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions). I understand that the Governments of the other member States of the EEC have also been consulted concerning the nomination of their Government representatives and alternates, and that the Commission of the European Communities consults the employers' professional organisations and trade union organisations at European level concerning the nomination of representatives from employers' professional organisations and trade union organisations.
§ Mr. David Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the British members retiring from the Fondation Européenne pour l'Améloration des Conditions de Vie et de Travail in March 1979.
§ Mr. John Grant, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 7 March 1979; Vol. 865W 963, c. 659–660], gave the following information:
Neither the United Kingdom Government representative nor his alternate is retiring. They have both agreed to be nominated for a further three year period. I have not yet been notified by the Foundation of the composition of its new administrative board from 15 March 1979 onwards, therefore I have no information as to whether the United Kingdom employers or trade union representatives are retiring.
