HC Deb 03 November 1975 vol 899 c64W
41. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will ensure that British interests are fully protected before agreeing to any draft of the pro posed European Community Convention for European Patents for the Common Market.

Mr. Shore

Yes. I have consulted widely on the revised final draft of the Convention and am satisfied that the terms which have been negotiated are now acceptable to British interests.
