HC Deb 20 June 1975 vol 893 cc565-6W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth affairs if he will ask Mr. Tindemans, Belgium Prime Minister, to met representatives of the employers' trade unions and political parties in Northern Ireland when he visits the United Kingdom so that a wide-ranging discussions can take place regarding Ulster's special needs in the context of the EEC.

Mr. Ennals

Mr. Tindemans will not be visiting Northern Ireland during his short visit to the United Kingdom, but I understand that he hopes to meet Northern Ireland Members of Parliament during his visit to London. The arrangements are in the hands of the Belgian Embassy. I have no doubt that Mr. Tindemans will wish to consult as wide as possible a range of opinion, reflecting the views of all parts of the United Kingdom, but his time is necessarily limited.
