§ Q13. Mr. Adleyasked the Prime Minister if he will seek an early meeting with the Heads of Government of the other member countries of the EEC, in order to discuss the strengthening of the control of European industrial policy.
§ The Prime MinisterAt the summit conference in Paris last October the Heads of State and Government agreed to seek to establish a single industrial base for the European Community as a whole and laid down that a programme of action together with a precise timetable and appropriate measures should be decided by the Community's Institutions before 1st January 1974. I do not therefore see any need for a meeting of Heads of Government at this stage.
