HC Deb 27 June 1983 vol 44 c37W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what alterations will require to be made in current United Kingdom laws and practice to achieve the development of a common transport policy and the removal of obstacles to the free movement of goods, capital and services, as provided for in the solemn declaration of European union.

Mr. Tom King

The United Kingdom supports the paragraph in the solemn declaration on the removal of obstacles to free movement and the further development of the common transport policy which accords with our own policies and priorities in this area. The effect on current United Kingdom laws and practices will depend on the nature of the measures adopted to give effect to these policies.
