HC Deb 29 February 1988 vol 128 cc438-9W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give details of the programme for his recent visit to Brussels; and if he will list the names of the officials he met.

Mr. Peter Walker

I went to Brussels on 3 February 1988 for a meeting about integrated operations programmes. I had talks with Commissioner Varfis, who is responsible for the co-ordination of structural instruments, Mr. Camhis, his deputy chef de cabinet, and Mr. Schutz of directorate XXII, who is head of the section dealing with integrated approach operations and co-ordination. I also had discussions with the office of the United Kingdom's permanent representative to the European Communities.
