§ LORD BLYTONMy Lords, may I put a question before the continuation of the business on the Order Paper? May I ask the Deputy Leader of the House whether an important Statement which was made this morning in the House of Commons on the E.E.C. Ministers' meeting is to be repeated here?
§ THE MINISTER OF STATE, DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SECURITY (LORD ABERDARE)My Lords, we are in a slight difficulty. We have no knowledge at the moment on this side of the House of this Statement. May I go into the matter and see what can be arranged?
§ LORD BLYTONMy Lords, I can assure the Minister that it was made, because I sat there and listened to it this morning.
