HC Deb 09 May 1995 vol 259 c434W
14. Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what discussions he has had with his EU counterparts about future EC employment direction; and if he will make a statement. [21629]

Mr. Portillo

At every meeting of the Social Affairs Council, I have urged my fellow Employment Ministers to make job creation the first priority and not to pursue new labour market restrictions and regulations which can only destroy jobs.
