HC Deb 26 June 1972 vol 839 cc264-5W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Attorney-General whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a detailed list of the Secondary Legislation of the Rules, Regulations and Decisions of the European Economic Community which will affect his Department and its ministerial responsibilities; in what way each such piece of legislation will affect his departmental activities; and to what extent he has met, or intends to meet employers, trade unions, industrial representatives, lawyers and Bar Council, and trade associations to discuss the effects of such legislation on British Industry in general and matters falling within his ministerial responsibilities.

The Attorney-General

As my responsibilities extend to advising Her Majesty's Government on all legal issues referred to me, it is not practicable to isolate secondary legislation affecting my Department in particular. Where discussions with professional or other representative bodies are necessary or desirable these will be undertaken.
