HC Deb 16 June 1988 vol 135 c218W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when, and by what means, Her Majesty's Government intend to give effect to the provisions of the European Community charter relating to regional languages and cultures, established by resolution of the European Parliament on 16 October 1981.

Mr. Eggar

European Parliament resolutions do not bind member states. The question of implementation by the Governments of EC member states does not therefore arise.
