asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he was last consulted by the United States Administration about the stance they will be adopting at the forthcoming summit.

Mr. Heseltine

Her Majesty's Government have been consulted by the United States Administration at both ministerial and official level on a number of occasions. For example, the Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Sussex (Mr. Renton), attended Mr. Shultz's recent briefing of the North Atlantic Council and my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister will be taking part in the seven power meeting in New York on 24 October.
