HC Deb 05 June 1984 vol 61 cc152-3W
15. Mr. Rowe

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the proceedings of the European Standing Employment Committee on 10 May.

Mr. Alan Clark

I represented the United Kingdom Government at the meeting on 10 May of the European Community's Standing Employment Committee. The committee considered the Commission communication on technological change and social adjustment and reached helpful conclusions.

Meetings of the committee provide a useful forum for the Governments of member states, the Commission and the social partners to discuss employment matters of mutual concern.
