HC Deb 08 December 1987 vol 124 cc126-7W
Mr. Canavan

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what subjects were discussed at his last meeting with representatives of the Government of the Republic of Ireland.

Mr. Tom King

I last met representatives of the Irish Government at the Intergovernmental Conference on 16 November. As noted in the joint statement issued after the meeting, a copy of which has been placed in the Library, the discussion centered on key aspects of the security situation on which both sides agreed on the need for a very positive response.
