§ Rev. Martin SmythTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will place in the Library the reports from groups of officials given to the Anglo-Irish Conference on 21 October and mentioned in the joint statement of that date; what meetings of Ministers of both Governments took place and on what specific issues before this meeting of the conference, as reported in the penultimate paragraph of the joint statement of 21 October; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Tom King[holding answer 13 November 1987]: It is not our practice to publish such reports. My hon. Friend the member for Gosport (Mr. Viggers) met the Irish Ministers for Tourism and Transport, and for Industry on 29 July, for a general discussion largely on tourism matters; my noble Friend Lord Lyell met the Irish Minister for Agriculture on 12 October to discuss agriculture matters.
