Miss Widdecombe

The United Kingdom Government responded on 11 September 1992 to a letter from the Director General of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs about European Council Directive 80/987. We believe the Government have done all that is required to comply with this directive.
