Mr. Hood: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the outcome was of the Employment and Social Policy Council
held in Brussels on 3 December; what the Government position was on each issue discussed, including its voting record; and if she
will make a statement. [21219]
Malcolm Wicks: I have been asked to reply.
My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions represented the UK at the Employment and Social Policy Council in
Brussels on 3 December, together with the Minister for Employment and the Regions.
The Council agreed parameters for the simplification of the co-ordination of social security schemes under Regulation 1408-71. The
UK was able to accept the parameters, subject to detailed scrutiny, further negotiations and correction of linguistic points. The
parameters will be forwarded to the Laeken European Council. The UK was also able to endorse the Council's Conclusions identifying
the appropriate legal base for extending co-ordination of social security schemes to nationals of third countries.
The Council reached political agreement on the `Autumn Package' of Employment measures, comprising the Employment Guidelines for
2002; Recommendations on the implementation of member states' employment policies and the adoption of the Joint Employment Report
for 2001: the `package' will go to the Laeken European Council for endorsement.
The Council adopted Conclusions on indicators on `Quality in Work' which will be presented to the Laeken European Council, thus
fulfilling the remit from the Stockholm European Council.
The Council adopted a report on indicators of poverty and social exclusion for Laeken; a Joint Commission and Council Report on
social inclusion and a joint report from the Social Protection Committee and the Economic Policy Committee on objectives and working
methods in the area of pensions. All three documents will go to the Laeken European Council for adoption.
The Council agreed a common position on amending the Insolvency (worker protection) Directive, to bring it in line with recent
jurisprudence.
The Council also agreed to adopt 2003 as the European Year of People with Disabilities.
The Council adopted Conclusions on Structural Indicators, which will be forwarded to the General Affairs Council; indicators on the
Gender pay gap, and on an EU-level mechanism to help resolve transnational employment disputes.
The Belgian Presidency presented a progress report on a Directive on Employee Involvement in the European Co-operative. The
Presidency reported progress on the Asbestos (worker protection) Directive. A common position is expected to be finalised under the
forthcoming Spanish Presidency. The Council noted two Presidency reports on gender mainstreaming in Council formations and agreed a
contribution to work on the Broad Economic Guidelines for 2002, to be forwarded to ECOFIN.
The Council adopted a Resolution on the Commission's Green Paper on Corporate Social Responsibility and requested that the outcomes
of the current debates at national level be incorporated in the Commission's next Communication on this subject.
The Commission gave an overview of its Communication on increased Labour Force Participation and Active Ageing. The Commission
presented its Communication on Lifelong Learning.
No votes were taken at this Council.

Linda Perham: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps she has taken to protect consumers from unscrupulous
traders on the internet. [22297]
Miss Melanie Johnson: We are providing protection through codes of practice, dispute resolution and clear information for on-line
shoppers.
In November I launched a Safe Internet Shopping Campaign together with the Minister for E-Commerce and Competitiveness. The campaign
aimed to raise awareness about e-shopping and demonstrate that it is safe as long as shoppers follow basic, common-sense guidelines.
Existing consumer protection legislation (the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and distance selling regulations) do protect consumers from
credit card fraud and give them a cooling-off period in respect of most contracts.
DTI is working with business and consumer organisations to deliver straightforward guidance, and to provide access to more

Mr. Letwin: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will investigate the size of the print used in setting out
the terms and conditions of offers made by firms to the general public. [20177]
Miss Melanie Johnson: [holding answer 3 December 2001]: We have no plans for such an investigation. Where an advertisement for an
offer for goods or services is rendered misleading because relevant terms and conditions are illegible, it may breach the
advertising industry's British Codes of Advertising and Sales Promotion. In that case the Advertising Standards Authority could
direct the advertiser to amend or remove the advertisement. Furthermore, any price indicated to consumers which is rendered
misleading as a result of illegible terms and conditions could be the subject of a criminal prosecution under the Consumer
Protection Act 1987. In relation to standard consumer contracts, the Director General of Fair Trading has used his powers under the
Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 to ensure that these are presented in print of acceptable size. In relation to
offers for credit, under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 in order for the terms of a consumer credit agreement to be enforceable they
must be readily legible.

Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what strategies are in place to protect the elderly from
becoming the victims of burglary and violent crime; and if he will make a statement. [19360]
Mr. Denham: [holding answer 3 December 2001]: The Government's Crime Reduction Strategy, which was published in November 1999, set
out what we are doing to tackle various crimes including domestic burglary. Our publication "Fighting violent crime together: an
action plan" sets out what we are doing to tackle violent crime. Neither is specifically targeted at elderly victims; crime
statistics show that the elderly are generally at lower risk of victimisation. However, various initiatives have been aimed
specifically at preventing elderly people becoming victims of these types of crime including: A number of projects under the
Reducing Burglary Initiative (part of the Crime Reduction Programme) with interventions specifically addressing burglary against the
elderly. Over £2 million allocated to three projects specifically designed to combat distraction burglary, which primarily affects
the elderly, and a further £1 million for the work of the distraction burglary task force. A home security scheme for pensioners,
which provides security checks and, where needed, additional security measures for eligible pensioners. Home Office publicity on
crime prevention contains detailed advice to help the elderly reduce the risk of burglary, including burglary by fraudulent callers.
The Government approach to tackling violent crime includes: providing the police with resources in terms of manpower and modern
technology to enable them to develop more efficient intelligence-led policing and problem orientated policing; more effective
punishment, through the creation of a new sentencing structure; dealing with the root causes of violent crime by looking at measures
to divert young people from crime; giving the courts new community disposals to curtail offending behaviour at an early stage; the
Crime Reduction expenditure includes Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) schemes to improve personal safety in public areas.
