Mr. Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on his meeting with Mr. Karl Czernetz, President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, on 21st October.

Mr. Hattersley

My right hon. Friend had a useful discussion with Mr. Czernetz about the rôle of the Council of Europe and the United Kingdom's participation in its work. He was glad to be able to assure him that our interest in the council of Europe is undiminished. My right hon. Friend told him how much he valued the active participation of our parliamentary delegation in the work of the Consultative Assembly.
