HC Deb 02 April 1985 vol 76 c553W
Rev. Martin Smyth

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish a list of all the meetings of the Anglo-Irish economic steering group, its members, and the Departments and sections from which United Kingdom officials have been seconded to it; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Renton

The last meeting of the AIESG took place in March 1980; since then its role has been taken over by the Anglo-Irish Intergovernmental Council (AIIC). As with the AIIC committees, officials attended the meetings of the AIESG from various Departments depending on the subjects under discussion. It is not our practice to reveal the names of those concerned.
