Will my right hon. and learned Friend confirm that the European Commission has introduced the social action programme under the provisions of article 100A with a view to making it possible for the programme to be enacted by a qualified majority only? Does he agree that article 100A is not the appropriate article? What steps is he taking to challenge the European Commission on that point?
