HC Deb 05 March 1979 vol 963 cc404-5W
Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy with respect to the European Community agreement on terrorism finalised by the EEC Ministers of Justice at a meeting held in Luxembourg on 11 October 1978.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

At that meeting, Ministers of Justice of the member States of the EEC adopted a resolution calling upon all member States to sign and ratify as soon as possible an agreement concerning the application among them of the European convention on the suppression of terrorism, until such time as they should all have ratified that convention without reservation. The Government hope that this agreement will be opened for signature shortly, and intend that the United Kingdom should sign it as soon as possible.
