HC Deb 27 March 1986 vol 94 c535W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what considerations have been given by the EEC Council to EEC participation in the work and activities of the Council of Europe; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

The EC Council of Ministers has not discussed this matter recently but there have been useful meetings between representatives of the EC Council and the Council of Europe to improve co-ordination between them.
