HC Deb 22 January 1971 vol 809 c367W
Mr. William Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the changes which would be required in hall-marking legislation governing precious metals in the event of the United Kingdom entering the Common Market.

Mr. Ridley

Until it becomes clear what the policy of the E.E.C. on trade in precious metals will be, no such estimate is possible.
