§ 78. Mr. Sydney Irvingasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps are being taken to provide information on the association of the Trust Territories under the administration of the United Kingdom with the European Economic Community, and on the possible effects of the treaty on the development of these territories, for submission to the next session of the United Nations General Assembly.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe only Trust Territories associated with the European Economic Community are those administered by contracting parties to the Treaty of Rome. The first part of the Question does not therefore arise. The effects of the Treaty of Rome on the development of the trade of United Kingdom Trust 69W Territories, and, indeed, of all the territories for which Her Majesty's Government are responsible, will be discussed during the examination of the Treaty which is being conducted in the G.A.T.T., the proper forum for such discussions.
