HC Deb 28 October 1971 vol 823 c442W
68. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, in his consultation with the people before asking Parliament to accede to the Treaty of Rome, he explained the effect of the directives issued since Her Majesty's Government renewed their application in 1967.

Mr. Rippon

Successive British Governments have made it clear that the Community is a developing organisation and that one of the main advantages of membership is that Her Majesty's Government can play a full part in its further development. Her Majesty's Government have taken full account of developments since 1967 in the negotiations.
