43. Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, in deciding on the machinery to be adopted for consultation regarding EEC membership, if he will consider the possibility of giving the British people the option of leaving it to Parliament to decide on the question of Great Britain's continued membership of the EEC in any referendum.

Mr. Hattersley

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister told the House on 14th November—[Vol. 881, c. 587.]—no decision has yet been taken on the method and procedure to be adopted for consulting the British people.
