HC Deb 10 May 1976 vol 911 cc28-9W
22. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, in view of the publicity abroad, especially in Europe, given to the recent negotiations between Her Majesty's Government and the TUC, what special steps have been taken through diplomatic missions to publicise the outcome of these negotiations and Her Majesty's Government's policy in this field.

Mr. Luard

British missions abroad constantly seek to ensure that Her Majesty's Government's actions and policies are accurately and fully presented. In regard to the negotiations with the TUC, the text of the statement made in the House on 5th May by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor, together with other guidance, was telegraphed to missions within a few hours of its being made.
