HC Deb 17 December 1993 vol 234 c945W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how the work of the ad hoc group on immigration will be co-ordinated with that of the co-ordinating committee established on the basis of article K4 of the Maastricht treaty.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Following implementation of the treaty on European Union, the ad hoc group on immigration has been replaced by a group of senior officials, known as steering group I, covering immigration and asylum matters. Steering group I reports to the article K4 committee, whose role is to oversee and co-ordinate this and other intergovernmental work under title VI of the treaty.
