HC Deb 19 March 2001 vol 365 c87W
Mr. Walter

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent meetings he has had with his Turkish counterpart to discuss European security. [152718]

Mr. Hoon

I last had a meeting with my Turkish counterpart, Mr. Cakmakoğlu, at the NATO Informal Defence Ministers meeting in Birmingham in October last year, and our discussions included European security. Additionally, I expect to visit Turkey next week and to call on Mr. Cakmakoğlu to discuss a range of defence issues.
