HC Deb 01 February 1973 vol 849 cc466-7W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether his Department has had consultations with the EEC Commission on Articles 85 and 86 of the Rome Treaties; and what was the outcome of those consultations.

Sir G. Howe

Yes. The consultations have shown that, while our domestic procedures differ from those adopted under Articles 85 and 86, the Commission's views on the aims of competition policy closely resemble our own.
