Government member on the ILO's Governing Body) to

opportunity today to consider what each of us - Government officials, TUC and CBI can do, either together or

separately, with our opposite numbers in the United

K

States and in Europe, to avert the possibility of the

United States leaving the ILO, I will now ask

Mr Forward to initiate our discussion.

[ Mr Fletcher of United Nations Department

will attend for this item ]
