Lord Lester of Herne Hill
asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they intend to ratify the additional protocol to the European social charter providing for a system of collective complaints; and, if not, why not.

(Lord Henley)
The Government do not intend to ratify the additional protocol to the European social charter providing for a system of collective complaints. The Government do not consider that the protocol would improve the charter's supervisory system.
