HC Deb 11 November 1971 vol 825 c1223
Q4. Mr. Spearing

asked the Prime Minister if he is satisfied with the co-ordination between the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and the Secretary of State for Employment on arrangements for entering the European Economic Community; and if he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir. The Secretary of State and his officials are closely concerned with all issues arising from entry which will affect the Department.

Mr. Spearing

In view of the Prime Minister's satisfaction, will he tell us when the Government expect to publish the details of how acceptance of the labour mobility rules of the Treaty of Rome will affect all categories of Commonwealth and United Kingdom citizens who are working in this country?

The Prime Minister

This has been described at various times in the debates on Europe. Any statutory requirements will come in the legislation to be introduced in the New Year.
