HC Deb 13 February 1975 vol 886 c194W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will make it his policy only to propose the names of elected Members of Parliament as members of the European Assembly, and to make it a pre-condition of proposing them that they will resign if their elected membership ceases.

Mr. Edward Short

The designation of the United Kingdom members of the European Assembly is a matter for Parliament.
