HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 c371W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive the Report of the Royal Commission on the Constitution; and if he will consider expediting the part relating to Northern Ireland.

Mr. Lane

As regards the first part of the Question, I am told that the commission is now drafting its report but much still remains to be done. It hopes to report in the early summer of next year. As regards the second part of the Question, it is for the commission to decide how to proceed within the terms of reference it has been given.
