HC Deb 22 October 1982 vol 29 c219W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on his meeting with EEC Foreign Ministers in Nyborg on 17 October; and, in particular, what discussion there was of the prospect for a long-term agreement on United Kingdom budgetary payments and of the attitude of the Republic of Ireland with regard to the Latin-American resolution on the Falkland Islands to be debated in the United Nations General Assembly in November.

Mr. Hurd:

This was not a formal meeting of the Council. I can, however, confirm that there was some discussion of the budget problem.

With regard to the Falkland Islands, I refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 20 October to the hon. Member for West Lothian (Mr. Dalyell).—[Vol. 29, c. 151.]
