HC Deb 16 April 1975 vol 890 c117W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what effects on employment prospects he expects will flow from British withdrawal from the EEC.

Mr. John Fraser

It is the Government's view as expressed in the White Paper on Membership of the European Community (Cmnd 6003) that there would be a risk of deterioration in the level of employment, for a time at least, in the event of Britain's withdrawal from the Community.
