§ Mr. Leightonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment 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enacted under section 2 of the European Communities Act and which would cease to have effect if that section were to be repealed.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. HeseltineThe only item of substantive legislation enacted under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 for which I have responsibility is the Detergents (Composition) Regulations 1978 (S.I. 1978/564), as amended by the Detergents (Composition) (Amendment) Regulations 1978 (S.I. 1978/1546). If the section were repealed, these regulations would fall. There is no intention of repealing it.
