HC Deb 03 March 1986 vol 93 c4W
Mr. Chope

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will make a further statement on negotiations within the European Community to open closed cabotage trade to British vessels.

Mr. Ridley

There has been no Transport Council since my last statement on 13 January—Volume 89, column 764–65. The next Council will be on 14 March and shipping matters will be further discussed then.
