Mr. Parry

asked the Prime Minister if she will make a statement on her recent meeting with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland.

The Prime Minister

I refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Basildon (Mr. Proctor) on Thursday 24 March 1983—[Vol. 39, c.461.]

Mr. Stallard

asked the Prime Minister when she last met the Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland; what subjects were discussed; when she next expects to meet him; and if she will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

I had a meeting with Dr. FitzGerald, in the margins of the European Council on 22 March, which lasted about 45 minutes. The talks were informal and introductory in character and covered a number of matters of concern and interest to us both. I expect to see Dr. FitzGerald at the next European Council.
