Mr. Winnick

To ask the Prime Minister if she will give the reasons for not renewing the nomination of Mr. S. Clinton Davis as a member of the European Commission; and if she will make a statement.

I have written to Mr. Clinton Davis expressing gratitude for his work as a member of the Commission and explaining that I thought as a general rule that people should not serve as commissioners for too long.
