HC Deb 03 February 1982 vol 17 c156W
46. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will list the meetings of Ministers of the European Community that are planned in the next three months; and what will be the main items on their agenda.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

The forecast of business for the month of February was placed in the Library of the House on 28 January. I elaborated on this in my reply yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Reigate (Mr. Gardiner). In March the European Council and meetings of the Agriculture, Research, Finance, Energy and Foreign Affairs Councils are due to take place. In April it is expected that there will be meetings of the Agriculture, Finance and Foreign Affairs Councils. Agendas for these meetings have not yet been fixed. I shall let the House have a detailed forecast in due course in the normal manner.
