HC Deb 22 November 1972 vol 846 c429W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what discussions there have been with the European Economic Community in relation to seconding to the Commission civil servants with direct experience of Northern Ireland problems.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The arrangements under which the European Commission will recruit United Kingdom nationals have been fully discussed. Candidates from-Northern Ireland will be considered along with others. It would not be appropriate to discuss their recruitment separately.
