HL Deb 24 March 1986 vol 472 c1272WA
Lord O'Hagan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many civil servants in the enterprise unit have served in the institutions of the EC.

Lord Young of Graffham

None of the civil servants currently working in the Enterprise and Deregulation Unit has worked in the institutions of the EC. Their wide experience of policies bearing on European matters is, however, backed up by expert advice and guidance from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other bodies directly involved.
