HC Deb 22 November 1978 vol 958 cc627-8W
78. Mr. Neubert

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he expects to have in the near future with his counterparts in the Community on direct elections to the European Parliament.

Mr. Tomlinson

My right hon. Friend will be continuing his discussion with his colleagues in the Council about the question of the level of emoluments for directly elected Members of the European Assembly. This is the most important outstanding question for which the Council has ultimate responsibility.
