HC Deb 10 February 1971 vol 811 c167W 167W

§ 72. Mr. Fry
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to give powers to local councils to hold local votes on the desirability of the United Kingdom joining the European Economic Community.

No. This is not a local issue but a national one on which the decision rests with Parliament.
