HC Deb 06 November 1991 vol 198 cc124-5W
Mr. Sillars

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consideration the intergovernmental conferences have given to increasing the membership of the Community; and what adjustment, if any, has been made to draft treaties on environment and political union to accommodate future new members.

Mr. Garel-Jones

The agenda of the intergovernmental conference includes consideration of extended Community action on environment, but enlargement of the Community is not formally under discussion. It is expected to be debated after the conclusion of the conference.
