HC Deb 18 March 1974 vol 870 c664
43. Mr. Steel

asked the Lord President of the Council what arrangements he intends to make to facilitate discussions on the Kilbrandon Report.

Mr. Short

The Government have made clear their intention to initiate urgent discussions. The arrangements for conducting the discussions will be settled as quickly as possible, but they will include both a debate in the House and discussions in Wales and Scotland.

Mr. Edward Taylor

Is it the Government's intention after the discussions to produce a White Paper setting out their proposals, or a Green Paper setting out a series of alternatives which will call for further discussions?

Mr. Short

It is the Government's intention to produce a White Paper at the end of the discussions.
