§ Mr. Leightonasked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will circulate in the Official Report a list showing the substantive legislation within his sphere of responsibility which has been enacted under section 2 of the European Communities Act and which would cease to have effect if that section were to be repealed.
§ Mr. David MitchellThe only current statutory instrument made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 for which this Department has responsibility is the European Communities (Iron and Steel Employees Re-adaptation Benefits Scheme) Regulations 1979 (S.I. 1979/954). If the section were repealed these regulations would fall. We have no intention of repealing it.
