Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish the programme of conferences on European affairs for which £10,000 has been given to the Federal Trust for Education and Research.

Mr. Anthony Royle

Conferences have so far been held on "The regional policy implications of European Monetary Union", on "Parliamentary aspects of the EEC" and "European Broadcasting". Further activities are at an early stage of planning, but the programme as a whole has not yet been finalised.

Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which countries in Europe will be the subject of discussions at the Conference Centre, Wilton House; and if he will publish the programme.

Mr. Anthony Royle

The European Discussion Centre at Wiston House will be open to participants from the countries of the enlarged European Communities. The programme has not yet been finalised.

Mr. Marten

Mr. Anthony Royle

A conference on monetary questions has already been held. Further conferences on regional policy, and Europe and the third world are planned, but the programme as a whole has not yet been finalised.
