52. Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about Her Majesty's Government's plans for organising European communities in matters not covered by the Treaties of Rome and Paris.

We are engaged with our friends in Europe in examining the possibilities for greater co-operation and common action in fields not covered by the Community Treaties, particularly foreign policy and defence, as proposed by Monsieur Harmel.
