HC Deb 18 May 1999 vol 331 cc330-1W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the United Kingdom's relations with Malta. [83528]

Ms Quin

Our relations with Malta are excellent. We have continued to build on the longstanding and close links the UK enjoys with Malta across a wide range of issues.

I visited Malta on 4–5 May and had discussions on bilateral and European issues with representatives of the government, of the opposition and others, including business and economic interests.
