HC Deb 21 March 1975 vol 888 cc551-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether, with the White Paper to be supplied to voters on matters connected with the EEC referendum, he will also include a copy of the Rome Treaty and a summary of all of the rules, directives and orders, etc., that have been issued since Great Britain's entry into the EEC.

Mr. Edward Short:

No.

Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Lord President of the Council what is his esti- mate of the cost of the whole operation of counting the votes in the proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Community at one central place.

Mr. Edward Short:

It is not possible to separate counting costs from other clerical and administrative costs, and no accurate estimate of the cost of counting is therefore available.
