SECRETARY OF STATE'S SPEECH FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEBATE 22 MARCH
Introduction
20/3 repere)
Reun
1. Since the last Foreign Affairs Debate in this House on 3 November the
top item on the agenda has undoubtedly been the European Community. My Rt
Hon Friend the Prime Minister made a full statement yesterday on the
European Council. And I hope that the House will have an opportunity for a
debate on this very shortly. The timing of the Debate will clearly be a
matter for my Rt Hon Friend the Leader of the House. But I do not intend
to go into detail on Community affairs today.

2.
Instead, I want to focus on the other major issues which have been
occupying us since the Debate in November. In particular I shall
concentrate on East/West relations, the Middle East and Transatlantic
relations. I also want to talk a little about two important but
self-contained issues, Hong Kong and the Falklands.
