HC Deb 16 January 1991 vol 183 cc506-7W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the policy of Her Majesty's Government on the concept of European citizenship following the agreement of the European Council that the matter should be examined; and which body will be undertaking the examination.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

[holding answer 14 January 1991]: The concept of European citizenship, separate from national citizenship, needs considerable refinement and clarification before any decisions on its precise implications and acceptability could be made. Work on this is going ahead in the intergovernmental conference on political union.
