HC Deb 31 July 1962 vol 664 c71W
Mr. Healey

asked the Prime Minister whether he will include provisions for voting in the institutions of the enlarged European Economic Community in the outline agreement it is hoped to present to the Conference of Commonwealth Prime Ministers.

The Prime Minister

We are raising the question of the weight to be given to the United Kingdom vote in the current talks in Brussels. A full examination of the voting provisions in an enlarged European Economic Community can, however, only take place at a later stage. Other countries that have applied for membership—Norway, Denmark and the Irish Republic—are also concerned.
