HC Deb 18 November 1987 vol 122 cc587-8W
19. Sir Anthony Meyer

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to seek to achieve a single European market by 1992.

Mrs. Chalker

We shall continue to work for rapid progress in dismantling barriers to trade within Europe, including opening up public purchasing, approximation of standards, further liberalisation of air transport and of capital movements and the creation of an open market in financial services.

83. Mr. Summerson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans Her Majesty's Government have for the creation of a wider market in Europe outside the European Community.

Mrs. Chalker

The European Community and members of the European Free Trade Association are discussing a wide range of issues with a view to removing trade barriers and strengthening co-operation. We fully support this process and hope it will continue as progress is made towards the completion of the Community's single market.
