60. Mr. Hayhoe

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what study his Department is making of the experience since 1968 of small firms in the European Economic Community.

79. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what study his Department is making of the experience in the last two years of small firms in the European Economic Community.

Mr. Noble

It would not be practicable for any one country, whether inside or outside the Community, to undertake such a study, but the Department is watching closely the development of the Community's industrial and other policies.

75. Mr. Urwin

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the effect on the industrial development of the Northern Region consequent upon British entry into the Common Market.

Industry in the Northern Region would share fully in the general opportunities created by membership of a larger European Community.
