§ Mr. Spearingasked the Prime Minister if he will place in the Library the statements of Heads of Government of Commonwealth countries concerning Great Britain's membership of the Common Market to which he has recently referred.
§ Mr. Edward ShortI have been asked to reply.
The Government booklet on the referendum which is being distributed to all households, and of which copies have been placed in the Library, contains texts of public statements by the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand. Commonwealth Governments continue informally to make clear their hope that the British people will support the Government's recommendation on Britain's membership of the EEC.
