HC Deb 03 May 1988 vol 132 c362W
60. Ms. Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the number of meetings which have taken place between his Department and trade unions, as part of the social dialogue recommended by the European Commission in order to consider the implications of the creation of the EEC internal market by 1992.

Mr. Cope

There have been no such meetings between this Department and trade unions. The social dialogue consists of discussions between the two sides of industry and is currently conducted at a European level.
