HC Deb 11 June 1992 vol 209 c442
15. Mr. Shersby

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are his policy priorities during the British presidency of the EC Council of Ministers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lamont

The United Kingdom's key priorities are the completion of the single market, enlargement of the Community, and working towards a conclusion on the Community's future financing.

Mr. Shersby

Is my right hon. Friend aware that financial orthodoxy is one of the most important priorities for the presidency of the Community? I hope that he will follow that in the months to come.

Mr. Lamont

I am extremely grateful to my hon. Friend.
