HC Deb 05 February 1986 vol 91 cc172-3W
27. Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps are being taken in the European Economic Community to try to deal with the threat of Arab hit squads again coming to the United Kingdom and other European countries.

Mr. Renton

Following recent terrorist attacks at Rome and Vienna airports, security precautions here and in other European countries are already at a high level. If there is evidence of plans to mount a terrorist attack from any quarter then we shall of course take appropriate steps to deal with the threat. European Community Foreign Ministers agreed on 27 January to strengthen co-operation against international terrorism.
