§ Q19. Mr. Teddy TaylorTo ask the Prime Minister what representations and views she has received from member states of the EEC about United Kingdom proposals on monetary developments to be considered by the intergovernmental conference; and if she will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterThe United Kingdom's proposals for a "hard ecu" have been widely welcomed by our Community partners as a positive, constructive contribution to the on-going debate on what should follow stage 1 of economic and monetary union. We will continue to advance our proposals before and during the intergovernmental conference which opens on 13 December.
