HC Deb 13 May 1996 vol 277 cc627-8
13. Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement on his recent activities concerning the co-ordination and presentation of Government policy. [27677]

The Deputy Prime Minister

I continue to chair the ministerial group on the co-ordination and presentation of Government policy and to promote the remarkable success of our polices in creating in this country the enterprise centre of Europe.

Mr. Griffiths

I thank the Deputy Prime Minister for that answer. Will he be appearing on television to support the views of the Foreign Secretary, who is seeking ways deliberately to block business in Europe, or the views that he has expressed in the past and which are shared by the Chancellor of the Exchequer about playing a constructive role in the European Union?

The Deputy Prime Minister

But the Foreign Secretary, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and I are wholly agreed on our approach to European policy.
