HC Deb 07 April 1971 vol 815 cc197-8W
Mr. Selwyn Gummer

asked the Attorney-General whether British entry into the European Economic Community would have any effect in itself upon the constitutional position in British law of the Crown in Parliament.

The Attorney-General

Entry into the E.E.C. would not in itself have any effect upon the constitutional position in law of the Crown in Parliament. British entry would, however, require willingness on the part of Parliament to give effect, or enable effect to be given, to the obligations which flow from the European Treaties.
