HC Deb 05 November 1999 vol 337 cc367-8W
Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the European Commission to publish a draft directive on racism and xenophobia. [97286]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

This matter is due to be discussed by the College of Commissioners on 10 November. However, I understand that there is a full agenda and it is possible that this item may not be reached, in which case it will be deferred to their next meeting on 16 November.
