§ LORD SHEPHERDMy Lords, I beg leave to ask Her Majesty's Government a Question of which I have given Private Notice.
§ The Question is as follows:
§ Whether in the light of the representation of the West German Government, Her Majesty's Government will make a Statement on the assurances they have received from the Brussels 675 Commission that the regional policies of Her Majesty's Government embodied in legislation now before Parliament are acceptable to the Commission.
§ LORD DENHAMMy Lords, with the leave of the House, my noble friend Lord Drumalbyn will answer this Question at a convenient moment after 3.30 p.m. This will be followed by a Statement by my noble and learned friend the Lord Chancellor on the Poulson bankruptcy case.
