HC Deb 05 March 1985 vol 74 c469W
77. Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps have been taken by the European Economic Community to reduce unemployment within the member states.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Community measures which help employment include those which promote vocational training, employment opportunities and new technology, and the European social and regional development funds. The further development of the common internal market of 270 million people would make a major contribution to helping employment.
