HC Deb 15 May 1969 vol 783 c265W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister which Minister is now responsible for answering Questions on the Common Market; when he decided to transfer this responsibility from himself to other Ministers; and why the change in responsibility has not been announced to the House.

The Prime Minister

There has been no change in responsibilities. My general practice is to transfer to my right hon. Friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary any Question relating to Foreign and Commonwealth affairs, unless exchanges with other Heads of Government are involved or there is some similar reason which makes it more appropriate that I should reply.
