HC Deb 24 July 1991 vol 195 c633W
21. Mr. Knox

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next proposes to have discussions with his European Community partners concerning the development of common European foreign policies.

Mr. Garel-Jones

The Dutch Presidency has yet to set the agenda for the ministerial meetings of the inter-governmental conference on political union in the second half of this year.

We expect however that Ministers of the Twelve will next consider the question of a common foreign and security policy in the early autumn.
