§ 57. Mr. GrahamTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster when he last met his European Economic Community counterparts to discuss consumer protection; and what was the content of the discussions.
§ Mr. ForthNeither my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster nor I, has yet had occasion to meet EC Community counterparts to discuss consumer protection. However, I have had general discussions on consumer issues with Commissioner Van Miert, and I hope to meet my Community colleagues at the Council of Consumer Ministers which the Spanish Presidency have provisionally planned for 1 June. I also hope to meet my French counterpart, Madame Neiertz, later this year for bilateral discussions.
