Mr. Biggs-Davison
asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he is satisfied that British interests and those of the United Kingdom's partners of the European Community are fully safeguarded under the voting rights for signatory States of the Agreement on an International Energy Programme.
Mr. Varley

It was accepted by all those members of the EEC which participate in the programme.
