§ Mr. McCuskerasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the politicians he intends to invite to meet Mr. George Thomson, EEC Regional Affairs Commissioner, at Stormont Castle in the coming week.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesI understand that the European Movement in Northern Ireland has invited a number of local politicians to meet Mr. Thomson. I have invited three politicians to a dinner at Hillsborough Castle at which I shall be the host. Invitations to this dinner have been extended to a number of other people—for example, representatives of the Irish Confederation of Trade Unions and the CBI. Two MPs have been invited to representative functions in their constituencies at which Mr. Thomson is officiating.
