Apart from state-backed schemes, Mr Hollande is looking to reforms of the country's rigid labour market regime to provide some relief.
She said Labour's child protection regime "treated over a quarter of the whole workforce, some 11 million people, as potential abusers" by "requiring them to be monitored as part of an overbearing vetting and barring system".
Mrs May told the Commons that T-Pims would be "more focused and targeted" than the control orders regime set up under Labour, which was "neither perfect nor entirely effective".
The plans have provoked muted criticism from the Labour opposition, which says the new regime might be less redistributive than its predecessor.
The letter says that "Britain is being taken in the wrong direction", and our "reputation for having an attractive tax regime, intelligent regulation and a flexible labour market is under threat".
Labour supports the bill, which will introduce a new regime following the Supreme Court's decision earlier this year that earlier powers were defective.
Indeed independence can be seen as the logical step in a chain of recent reforms that mark Labour's retreat from the top-down target regime.
Rich-country governments have all but decided that rules ostensibly to protect labour and the environment will be added to the international trading regime.
Earlier this year, the progressive nature of Mr McLennan-Murray's regime won plaudits from shadow home secretary Ann Widdecombe and Labour chair of the home affairs committee, Robin Corbett.
Supporters of the new government also say that it will try to make economic reform more palatable to Congress: whereas Mr Mahuad proposed the new exchange-rate regime as part of a package including telecoms and energy privatisation and changes in the labour laws, the new team may try to do things in stages.
