HC Deb 27 November 1980 vol 994 c163W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Lord Privy Seal what discussion took place at the EEC Council held in Brussels on 24 to 25 November concerning the Spanish accession to the EEC; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Ian Gilmour

There was no substantive discussion at the Foreign Affairs Council. But the sixth negotiating session at ministerial level with the Spaniards was held in the margins. It was largely a formal meeting.
