HC Deb 23 March 1990 vol 169 c796W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what response he has received to his Department's memorandum COM (88) 318 Final submitted to the European Community; whether consideration of it has been concluded; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

The draft European Community resolution on the fight against racism and xenophobia has yet to be considered by the Council of Ministers. The Government's position is unchanged from that set out in the explanatory memorandum to Parliament and has been reflected in negotiations at official level on this subject.
