HC Deb 19 April 1994 vol 241 c494W
Mr. Riddick

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received during the G7 jobs summit in favour of measures which would increase non-wage labour costs.

Mr. David Hunt

At the end of the G7 jobs conference, United States Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen noted that we have to create the climate in which the corporate world has jobs for people. One of many encouraging features of this conference was the clear consensus that non-wage labour costs must be controlled, and where possible reduced, to improve employment prospects and help reduce unemployment.
