HC Deb 23 February 1971 vol 812 cc124-5W
Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will prepare a statement for publication at an early date of the State Law in Scotland and the provisions of the Common Law in Scotland which would have to be repealed or amended if the United Kingdom signed the Treaty of Rome and implemented the various resolutions and directions already in force thereunder.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The extent to which the laws of the United Kingdom would require modification in the event of our accession to the Treaty of Rome is at present under close examination; and it is too early to make a statement on this matter.
