HC Deb 13 March 1975 vol 888 cc200-1W
Q9. Mr. Wigley

asked the Prime Minister if, during his coming visit to Cardiff, he will discuss with the Welsh Council and Wales TUC the establishment of direct links between the Welsh Assembly and the institutions of the EEC.

The Prime Minister:

No, but I hope to visit Wales again later this year for discussions with the Wales TUC and others when I shall be interested to listen to observations on any aspects of devolution.

Q37. Mr. Lipton

asked the Prime Minister whether he will seek the agreement of the right hon. Member for Sidcup (Mr. Heath) to the publication of an official history of the negotiations for Great Britain's entry into the EEC prepared on a contractual basis in 1972 by Sir Con O'Neill.

The Prime Minister:

No. I explained to the House in 1966 the arrangements governing official histories of peace-time episodes. The document to which my hon. Friend refers was not such a history. Indeed, it was made clear when it was commissioned that it was a report for official purposes only. It was a confidential report made to the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary of the day to which the present Government do not have access.
