I have made lists of the UK members of these committees available in the Library of the House. In the case of the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, the lists cover the period since 1997, but for the European Social Fund Committee only a list of current members is readily available. I will make a list of previous members of that Committee available in the Library as soon as possible. The civil servants who are members of the European Social Fund Committee are not listed, in accordance with established practice.UK members of the employers' and trade unions' groups of the Economic and Social Committee (EESC) are nominated by the Department of Trade and Industry, and members of the ““other interests”” (wider civil society) group are nominated by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, following consultation by both Departments with relevant civil society groups. In accordance with the EESC's purpose, candidates are chosen for their ability to represent the interests of UK civil society in the European Union.UK members of the Committee of the Regions (CoR) are nominated after consultation with local authorities, and with the devolved Administrations. In accordance with the CoR's purpose, they are chosen for their ability to represent the interests of the UK's regions in the European Union. Like all CoR members, they must hold an elected mandate at local or regional level.My right hon. Friends the Foreign Secretary and the Prime Minister approve the overall composition of the UK delegations to both committees, and take into account the candidates' level of expertise in their respective fields, as well as the UK delegations' overall balance, particularly with regard to their regional, political, ethnic and gender composition.UK members of the European Social Fund Committee are nominated by the Department of Work and Pensions, the Confederation of British Industry and the Trades Union Congress. Each of these nominates two full members and one alternate, and chooses its representatives on the basis of their competence in the questions with which the committee deals under its mandate, which is to advise the Commission on the administration of the European Social Fund.

Angus Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many times during the (a) Italian, (b) Irish
and (c) Dutch presidency of the EU the (i) Committee of the European Social Fund and (ii) Technical Adaption Committee on the
Introduction of Measures to Encourage Improvements in the Safety and Health of Workers at Work met; when and where these meetings
took place; what UK Government expert was present; and if he will make a statement. [218456]
Jane Kennedy: An official from the Department for Work and Pensions represented the UK at the European Social Fund Advisory
Committee on 26 September 2003 and 5 December 2003 during the Italian presidency; on 16 March 2004,
13 May 2004 and 18 June 2004 during the Irish presidency; and on 24 September 2004 and 23 November 2004
during the Dutch presidency. All of these meetings were held in Brussels.
During the Italian, Irish and Dutch presidencies the Technical Adaption Committee on the Introduction of Measures to Encourage
Improvements in the Safety and Health of Workers at Work did not meet. At meetings of the Technical Adaption Committee on the
Introduction of Measures to Encourage Improvements in the Safety and Health of Workers at Work, the UK representatives would be
drawn from staff with the relevant technical and policy responsibilities within the Health and Safety Executive.
There have been three Command Papers produced on prospects for the European Union which include highlights from the presidencies in
question--Cm6174 laid in April 2004, Cm6310 laid in September 2004 and Cm6450 laid in February 2005. They are available in the
Library and on the FCO website at www.fco.gov.uk/ commandpapers.
