Sir John Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the work of the Anglo-Irish Intergovernmental Council since the conclusion of the Anglo-Irish Agreement, in view of the commitment made by the Prime Minister and the Taoiseach in paragraph 10 of their joint communiqué issued at Hillsborough on 15 November 1985.

Mr. Eggar

The Intergovernmental Conference established by the Anglo-Irish Agreement was set up within the framework of the Anglo-Irish Intergovernmental Council. There have been a number of meetings at all levels under the auspices of the council since the conclusion of the agreement. In addition, the coordinating committee met in July 1986.
