§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Lord Privy Seal to what extant he accepts that revenue derived from duties under the common customs tariff shall be available to the European Economic Community as a whole; and to what extent he is now insisting, as a condition of Great Britain's entry, that such revenue collected in Great Britain or derived from goods destined for Great Britain shall, as Great Britain is a major importer, be available to strengthen the United Kingdom revenue.
§ Mr. HeathArticle 201 of the Treaty of Rome provides a procedure, which we are prepared to accept, for determining the conditions under which the financial contributions of member States provided for elsewhere in the Treaty may be replaced by other resources, in particular the revenue from the common customs tariff when this has been finally introduced. The Community have not yet carried out this procedure so far as the common customs tariff is concerned and the matter has not arisen in the negotiations.
