HL Deb 12 December 1996 vol 576 c98WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, as reported, the Government of Turkey is linking the question of NATO enlargement with that of its own accession to the European Union and if so what is their reaction to this attempted linkage.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

I refer the noble Lord to the Answer I gave on 19th November (Vol. 575,WA 130). It is for the Turkish Government, not for Her Majesty's Government, to comment on its policies.
