HC Deb 22 January 1973 vol 849 cc28-9W
Mr. Roper

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will make a statement setting out arrangements now in operation for the supply to Members of the publications of the European Communities including the "Official Journal", and the publications of the European Parliament.

Mr. Prior

Arrangements have been made to stock the undermentioned documents and these will be available to Members through the Vote Office in the usual way. Their supply has, however, been regrettably delayed as a result of the strike of Community staff last month, and further difficulties have been caused by the current industrial action within HMSO. The Government fully recognise the urgency of the need for Members to have these documents available, and I am seeking to ensure that they will be available to the House in the near future.

  1. 1. Journal "C" Series.
  2. 2. Journal "L" Series.
  3. 3. Bulletin and Supplements.
  4. 4. Authentic English Texts of Secondary Legislation.
  5. 5. Draft Council regulations.
  6. 6. Draft Council directives.
