To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he last met his EU counterparts to discuss economic growth. [18546]

Mrs. Angela Knight

My right hon. and learned Friend last met his European Union counterparts at the Council of Economic and Finance Ministers on 17 February 1997, where among other issues they discussed the general economic situation in the European Union. My right hon. and learned Friend outlined the continuing success of the UK economy with five years of growth combined with low inflation and falling unemployment.
