HC Deb 24 May 1971 vol 818 c46W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the event of United Kingdom entry into the European Economic Community, the Northern Ireland Government will be able to levy each of the present transferred taxes under the Government of Ireland Act.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

There is no reason to suppose that entry into the European Economic Community would have any effect upon the present taxation powers of the Northern Ireland Government. The devolution of certain taxation already exists within member states of the Community.
