HC Deb 08 June 1988 vol 134 c609W
46. Mr. Cash

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the agenda of the forthcoming Toronto world economic summit.

Mrs. Chalker

As in previous years, summit participants are likely to discuss macroeconomic policies, structural adjustment, debt, trade and agriculture. We hope that summit leaders will emphasise the vital need for progress on agricultural reform, the need to strengthen the effectiveness of the GATT system, and the importance of a productive mid-term meeting of the Uruguay round. We expect East-West relations, the middle east and terrorism to be the main political issues.
