HC Deb 06 December 1991 vol 200 c260W
Ms. Mowlam

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if the proposed directive on investment services will be under negotiation at the Maastricht summit; and if it remains Her Majesty's Government's policy to press for its adoption.

Mr. Redwood

The Investment Services Directive is not on the agenda for the Maastricht summit. The Government wish to see a directive which genuinely liberalises the single market in investment services and which does not impose unnecessary restrictions on member states' markets.
