HC Deb 13 December 1995 vol 268 c694W
33. Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when she last met other EU employment ministers to discuss the social chapter. [3904]

Mr. Forth

The Government have consistently said that it will not accept the draft social chapter, which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister refused to agree at Maastricht. That remains our position, and we make it clear to other member states when the issue arises.
