HC Deb 11 May 1981 vol 4 cc171-2W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Prime Minister whether she will propose to the European Economic Community Council that co-operation with the European Assembly should be withdrawn if the Assembly decides to debate specific internal United Kingdom matters not covered by the Treaty of Rome.

The Prime Minister

No. Under its rules of procedure the European Parliament may choose its own subjects for debate, but its conclusions are not binding on the Council or member States.
