asked the Prime Minister whether the United Kingdom undertook to develop any new programmes, systems or information policies as a result of the paper tabled at the EEC Dublin summit by Viscount D'a vignon.

Viscount Davignon's paper drew attention to the need for joint consideration of the subject of information technology. I was glad to agree that the Commission should undertake discussions and, where a clear Community role can be identified, to make proposals to the Council of Foreign Ministers. I look forward with interest to the outcome of the Council's deliberations on these proposals.
