HC Deb 09 June 1981 vol 6 cc90-1W
Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether any approach has been made by the European Commission to his Department to develop active participation by both sides of industry to the formulation of Community policies.

Mr. MacGregor

No. The Treaties provide for active participation by all sides of industry in the formulation of Community policies and the United Kingdom is fully represented on the bodies concerned.
