HC Deb 11 June 1986 vol 99 cc237-8W
81. Mr. Leigh

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the present state of Anglo-Portuguese relations.

Mr. Eggar

As the celebrations last month of the 600th anniversary of the treaty of Windsor demonstrated Anglo-Portuguese relations are excellent. Trade and tourism continue to prosper. In addition to our historical alliances, Britain and Portugal co-operate closely within the Atlantic Alliance and, following Portuguese accession on 1 January, within the European Community.
