HC Deb 29 April 1971 vol 816 c218W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to what extent when formulating his policy that British firms must be allowed to be more in control of their own affairs he took account of the restrictions which will be placed on British firms on Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community on any known terms.

Mr. Ridley

I cannot accept the hypothesis underlying the hon. Member's Question.
