§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Lord Privy Seal to what extent non-Commonwealth members of the sterling area have been consulted, and informed, about future United Kingdom relations with the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. HeathIn so far as the interests of non-Commonwealth members of the sterling area are affected, this will not be primarily because they are members of the sterling area. No informatory or consultative discussions with them have so far been found necessary, except in the case of the Irish Republic, which is in a rather special position.
