§ 81. Sir D. Kaberryasked the Lord Privy Seal if, in the course of the Common Market negotiations, his attention has been drawn to the practice and procedure now being followed by the Court of Justice established under the Treaty of Rome and the judgments already given; and whether he will make a statement on the extent to which entry into the Common Market by the United Kingdom will affect present established commercial law and practices in Great Britain and the English common law.
§ Mr. HeathAs I stated in reply to a Question on 4th February by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Hertfordshire, East (Sir D. Walker-Smith), we made it plain during the negotiations that we were ready to accept the institutional structure of the Communities including the powers, procedures and practice of the Court of Justice. The effects which Community law would have 73W had on British law and practices were dealt with in the full statement made by my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor in another place on 2nd August, 1962.
