§ 66. Mr. Nicholas Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will seek to introduce new proposals to extend competition in insurance and financial services throughout the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. ButcherIt is primarily for the Commission, not for individual member states, to make proposals. The United Kingdom fully supports the establishment of a genuinely common market in insurance and other financial services, and we hope that rapid progress can now be made in accordance with the decisions of the Milan summit in June 1985.
