HC Deb 18 June 1976 vol 913 cc308-9W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when the outcome of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's work on international investment and multinational enterprises will be made public.

Mr. Varley

OECD Ministers are expected to adopt a declaration including guidelines for multinational enterprises and three associated decisions on 21st June. In the view of Her Majesty's Government this constitutes a major step forward by the OECD countries. I intend to publish the text in a White Paper as soon as possible after the OECD meeting and to commend the guidelines to United Kingdom companies.
