HC Deb 28 July 1971 vol 822 cc124-5W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will indicate for each of the different heads of the agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Economic Community in relation to capital movements, how much money is expected to be involved over a stated period of time in each case.

Mr. Higgins

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to my right hon. Friend the Chancelor of the Exchequer's speech in Monday's debate on the United Kingdom and the European Communities.—[Vol. 822, c. 31–51.]

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that since the publication of Command Paper No. 4715 the initial cost to the United Kingdom up to 1978 of entry to the European Economic Community has increased to a figure of between £480 million and £520 million, he will withdraw the application to join.

Mr. Higgins

No. Nor do I understand on what basis the hon. Member has made his calculations.
