Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Prime Minister if he will make it his policy to reject any proposal for a common EC foreign policy or for foreign policy co-ordination which would impinge on the United Kingdom's relations with other Commonwealth countries or restrict the right of the United Kingdom to work with other Commonwealth countries on any matter of Commonwealth concern.

The Prime Minister

We shall not accept any treaty text which would impair our ability to maintain and develop our relations with other Commonwealth countries.
