HC Deb 20 October 1971 vol 823 c133W
59. Mr. Edward Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make available to hon. Members through the Vote Office copies of, or a summary of the content of, the Instruments of the Commission of the European Economic Community to which Great Britain would require to conform in the event of joining the Community.

Mr. Geoffrey Rippon

Preparation of authentic English texts is proceeding. These will be made available in due course, if Parliament decides that we should join the Communities. Unofficial English translations of Community legislation are, of course, available in the Library of the House and translations produced prior to 1967 have been published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office. These are available through the Vote Office.
