HC Deb 29 October 1996 vol 284 cc71-2W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Prime Minister what proposals were put by Her Majesty's Government to the special Heads of Government European Council meeting in Dublin on 5 October; what was the response by the other Governments; and if he will place in the Library copies of all papers discussed at the Council. [231]

The Prime Minister

The Dublin European Council on 5 October was informal. There were no papers for discussion or Council conclusions. I set out British priorities for the intergovernmental conference and my belief that the IGC must focus on essential reform to help prepare for further enlargement and to tackle other significant challenges which Europe will face over the next few years.
