HC Deb 24 June 1981 vol 7 c248
46. Mr. Marlow

asked the Lord Privy Seal when next he intends to meet European Economic Community Foreign Ministers to discuss Community affairs.

Sir Ian Gilmour

At the next Foreign Affairs Council on 13 and 14 July.

Mr. Marlow

Will my right hon. Friend take advantage of that opportunity to discuss with his colleagues the disclosure by a Member of the European Assembly that about 100 Members of that organisation are sleeping in their offices and claiming £50 of taxpayers' money?

Sir Ian Gilmour

I really do not think that where Members of the European Parliament spend the night is a matter for me.
