HC Deb 29 June 1972 vol 839 c415W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of State for Defence 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, trades unions, industrial representatives and trade associations to discuss the effects of such legislation on British industry in general and matters falling within his ministerial responsibilities.

Lord Balniel

Articles 2 and 223 make clear that the Treaty of Rome is not concerned with defence functions.
