HC Deb 26 March 1979 vol 965 cc8-9W
35. Mr. Spearing

asked the Lord President of the Council what conclusions he has reached concerning his undertakings to the House given on 28 November 1977 concerning relations between the House and the actions of Her Majesty's Ministers in meetings of ministerial Councils of the European Communities.

Mr. Foot

I explained to the House on 1 August last year that the Government would consider Parliament's handling of European Community business in the light of the recommendations of the Select Committee on Procedure. The House had an opportunity in the recent two-day debate on that report to comment on the recommendations affecting Community business. I am considering what further steps may be necessary in the light of that debate.
