HC Deb 03 February 1994 vol 236 c815W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make it his policy to raise(a) the environmental implications of the new GATT and (b) the economic implications of the international trade in nuclear materials between Europe and other economic areas at the forthcoming world economic summit in Davos.

Mr. Nelson

I have been asked to reply.

My right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor attended an informal gathering of world economic leaders in Davos on 28–30 January as part of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting. This meeting was not an intergovernmental summit to discuss specific issues; it was an opportunity for international economic policy makers to discuss longer-term trends in the world economy on an informal basis.
