§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Lord Privy Seal what machinery exists in his Department to monitor the activities of the EEC Commission in order to prevent the Commission acquiring new competence in areas not covered by the basic treaties.
§ Sir Ian GilmourNo special machinery is required. It is a normal function of officials in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other Departments to report to Ministers on any instance in which a Commission activity appears to fall outside the Commission's sphere of responsibility.
