Q25. Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Prime Minister if she will raise at the next meeting of the European Council the progress made in implementing the social charter directives.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I have been asked to reply.

The European Commission's proposal for a charter of social rights has not been agreed by the Council of Ministers. There have so far been no proposals for directives.
