88. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will direct Her Majesty's Government's representative on the Council of Ministers to indicate Her Majesty's Government's acceptance of Recommendation 102 of the Consultative Assembly on European Co-operation in the field of Posts and Telecommunications; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Recommendation No. 102 of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe is to be discussed by the Ministers' deputies at the meeting which is now in progress at Strasbourg. It would not be appropriate for me to say anything further on this question until they have concluded their deliberations.
