HC Deb 06 February 1998 vol 305 c843W
Mr. Wilkinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs for what reasons his criticism of the note keeping at Amsterdam was directed at the presidency rather than the General Secretariat of the Council. [27890]

Mr. Doug Henderson

The General Secretariat of the Council acts in support of the Presidency in the administration of European Councils. It is the Presidency, therefore, who bear overall responsibility for the conduct and management of European Councils.
