HC Deb 24 January 1975 vol 884 cc517-26W
Mr. Roper

asked the Lord President of the Council (1) to what extent measures other than statutory instruments have been used to implement European Community directives since 1st January 1973; and if he will list those in the Official Report;

(2) if he will list in the Official Report the statutory instruments that have been made since 1st January 1973 in order to implement European Community directives, giving in each case the title of the directive concerned and the date of coming into operation of the statutory instrument.

Mr. Edward Short

The following is a list of United Kingdom statutory instruments which have come into operation between 1st January 1973 and 1st January 1975 with regard to which some reference is made, in the Explanatory Note or otherwise, to some form of EEC obligation. I regret that it is not possible without disproportionate inquiry to isolate those statutory instruments which implement directives. The requirements of directives may also be met by,inter alia, administrative action or by the use of existing legislation, but it is not practicable to give details of implementation other than by statutory instrument.
