HC Deb 22 July 1975 vol 896 cc109-10W
Q6. Mr. Graham

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any plans to meet the Heads of Government of the European Community; and whether he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

I attended one of the regular meetings of the European Council on 16th and 17th July. It was a useful meeting. The Heads of Government discussed the future development of the Community following the British referendum, the world economic situation, Portugal, the forthcoming CSCE summit meeting, the rôle of the United Nations in international co-operation, the energy dialogue, the raw materials in preparation for the special session of the United Nations. The House will have seen the statements after the meeting, copies of which are being placed in the Library.

The date of our next meeting will be arranged by the Italian Presidency, probably towards the end of the year.

Q25. Mr. Russell Johnston

asked the Prime Minister whether, at his meeting with other Heads of Government of European Community countries on 16th-17th July, he discussed the question of the European Community's relations with Canada.

The Prime Minister

No.
