HC Deb 20 January 1976 vol 903 cc409-10W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the Government's reactions to the Report prepared by Mr. Leo Tindemans on European Union.

Mr. Hattersley

My right hon. Friend welcomes Mr. Tindeman's general approach, and in particular the stress he places on the need for the Community to be outward-looking. His report contains a number of important suggestions which will serve as a stimulus to discussion in the Community. The Government will examine them carefully before the report is discussed at the next European Council.
