HC Deb 03 April 1980 vol 982 c308W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will seek to raise at the next meeting of the European Economic Community Ministers the need to alter the powers of the Commission so as to enable individual national Governments to prevent the circulation within their borders of information emanating from the Commission which give what, in the view of the national Government concerned, is false information on their economic relationship with other members of the Community.

Sir Ian Gilmour

No. Any information put out by the Commission is published on its own responsibility. Member States can make a correction or provide supplementary information if it is required.
