HC Deb 04 April 1990 vol 170 c642W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to attend any meetings of the European Council of Ministers.

Mr. Peter Walker

It has not been the normal practice of Welsh Office Ministers to attend meetings of the European Council of Ministers. I have, of course, met members of the European Commission to discuss issues of importance to Wales, and I am in close touch with developments.
