HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 c235W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the Government expect to issue their detailed memoranda on the effects of Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community; why these investigations are taking so long; and if Her Majesty's Government will consult the Confederation of British Industry and other bodies on preparing this document.

Mr. Luard

On the first and second parts of his Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to what my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister told the hon. Member for Worcestershire, South (Sir G. Nabarro) on 18th November; as to the last part, I understand that the Confederation of British Industry are in the process of revising their own study of the effects of British entry into the European Communities.—[Vol. 791, c. 1107–8.]
