§ Mr. BishopMy right hon. Friend is in regular contact with the Commission and colleagues in the Council of Ministers on matters of common interest but, in the light of those developments which he reported to the House on 27th April— [Vol. 930, c. 1234–53]—has not since felt it necessary to raise the question of the boards' future.
