HC Deb 04 April 1990 vol 170 c699W
23. Mr. Knox

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further proposals he intends to place before his European Community partners for the development of Community policies.

Mr. Maude

We have taken the lead in the Community on a wide range of issues, among them giving effect to the detailed measures called for in stage 1 of the Delors report on economic and monetary union; the development of policy towards eastern Europe, strengthening the partnership between the US and the Community and urging rapid progress towards completing the single market.

We shall press our EC partners to continue to give top priority to completion of the 1992 programme, and to maintaining an outward-looking and liberal Community, in line with the commitments which we have secured in successive recent European Councils.
