HC Deb 03 December 1980 vol 995 c107W
13. Mr. Frank R. White

asked the Lord Privy Seal what was the result of the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the European Economic Community countries in relation to the Middle East situation.

Sir Ian Gilmour

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave earlier this afternoon to the hon. Member for East Kilbride (Dr. Miller).

15. Miss Richardson

asked the Lord Privy Seal what representations have been received by the European Economic Community Ministers in relation to the European Council declaration on the Middle East from the United States Administration in their position as one of the co-signatories to the Camp David accords.

Sir Ian Gilmour

We are, of course, in constant and close touch with the United States on this question. I believe the United States understand that it is not our intention to cut across their efforts. Mr. Muskie made this clear after the Venice declaration.
