§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister if she will make it her policy that Government Departments should describe the assembly of the European Community as such in all official documents and not as the Parliament.
§ The Prime MinisterThe term "Assembly" appears in the treaties, but the institution has described itself since 1962 as the "European Parliament" and this term is generally in use throughout the Community. We accepted this usage on taking office. Whatever terminology is used, the nature of the institution is not in doubt. We will continue to use the term "Assembly" in legal texts or where it is necessary to distinguish that institution from Parliament in Westminster.
