§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what changes it would be necessary to make in domestic rail, road, or inland waterway policy or practice consequent on the need to adhere to European Economic Community Regulations 1191–2/69 and 1107–8/70 which require abolition of public service obligations, determine certain rules for grants-in-aid and require common rules for standardisation of railway accounts, in the event of Great Britain joining the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. PeytonThere is no reason to think that these regulations will require any major changes in present policy and practices although there may be a need for some procedural adjustments.
