§ 64. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, before taking any irrevocable steps for Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community, he will arrange for discussions to be held with the Parliament of Jersey to ensure that this island will not be adversely affected in any way by Great Britain's entry into the Common Market.
§ Mr. CarlisleThere has been full consultation with representatives of the States of Jersey on how the interests of the island can be safeguarded on the accession of the United Kingdom to the European Economic Community.
