HC Deb 28 January 1987 vol 109 c252W
62. Mr. Holt

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals the Government have to harmonise shipping arrangements with the European Economic Community.

Mr. Michael Spicer

It is for the European Commission to produce such proposals. The final Transport Council of the United Kingdom presidency last month, on which I reported in my reply to the hon. Member for Harwich (Sir J. Ridsdale) on 17 December, welcomed the Commission's programme to this end and invited it to submit appropriate proposals as rapidly as possible.
