HC Deb 08 June 1988 vol 134 cc612-3W
64. Mr. Evennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessments he has made of the prospects for improved Anglo-French relations.

Mrs. Chalker

In recent years there has been a marked intensification of co-operation between Britain and France, symbolised by the launch of the Channel tunnel project. We now look forward to developing this co-operation still further in such areas as the creation of the EC single market by 1992 and our defence relationship within the Alliance.
