HC Deb 09 December 1970 vol 808 cc125-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will introduce legislation to ensure that, wherever matters affecting Great Britain's inter- national rights of decision and Parliamentary control of endorsement of foreign treaties are placed before the Houses of Parliament for decision, such will not become operative until a two-thirds majority of both Houses has been secured; and whether he will initiate this new legislation in time to ensure that it may become operative in time to apply to Great Britain's possible agreement to enter the Common Market.

Mr. Whitelaw

No.
