HC Deb 18 May 1972 vol 837 cc185-6W
Mr. Shore

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will list the subject matter of the four Statutory Instruments which the Government intend to lay in 1972 under Clause 2(2) of the European Communities Bill and the further 12 Instruments which will be needed in 1973.

Mr. Rippon

It is expected that in 1972 instruments under Clause 2(2) will be needed to deal with the following subjects:

  • Scheme for the exchange of young workers within the Community.
  • Non-Governmental vocational training schemes.
  • Production and marketing of wine.
  • Marketing arrangements for eggs.
  • Motor insurance to cover compulsorily insurable liabilities in other Member States.
  • The status in the United Kingdom of Community judgments and orders.

As far as can be foreseen at present, consideration will need to be given to the use of Clause 2(2) in 1973 for instruments on the following subjects:

  • Classification of wood in the rough and crystal glass.
  • Textile appellations.
  • Farm modernisation and structural reform additives in animal feeding stuffs.
  • Licensing of proprietary pharmaceutical products.
  • Classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances.
  • Protection against ionising radiation.
  • Statistics of international movement of goods by road.
  • Collection of information about transport infrastructure.
  • Discrimination in rates and conditions for the transport of goods.
  • The application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the enlarged Community.

In addition, one or more Orders in Council will be needed to designate the authorities empowered to make regulations under Clause 2(2).
