HC Deb 18 June 1980 vol 986 c520W
40. Sir Anthony Meyer

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he has any proposals for further strengthening political cooperation within the European Economic Community.

Sir Ian Gilmour

As I have told the House before, the Government attach great importance to political co-operation with our European partners, which it wishes to strengthen and intensify. My right honourable and noble Friend and I are seeking ways to improve the working of political co-operation and are engaged in contacts to this end.
