§ Mr. Denzil DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in which language common foreign and security policy texts adopted, pursuant to the footnote to article K of the treaty on European union will initially be written before they are translated into all the official Community languages.
§ Mr. Garel-JonesThe language of initial drafting is likely to depend on the presidency. Current practice in European political co-operation is for texts to be drafted and worked on simultaneously in English and French.
