HC Deb 13 June 1986 vol 99 cc338-9W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has as to the draft regulations of the Commission of the European Communities which in its judgment would need to be enacted to complete the harmonisation of the internal market; and if he will place a copy in the Library.

Mrs. Chalker

A list of some 300 measures which the Commission considers necessary appears in the White Paper "Completing the Internal Market" which it submitted to the European Council in June 1985, and which is available in the Library of the House.

Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consultations he has had with those trade and professional organisations in the United Kingdom whose interests are likely to be affected by measures necessary to complete the common internal market of the European Economic Community.

Mrs. Chalker

Ministers are in regular touch with a wide range of trade and professional organisations about the internal market. These organisations are in any case consulted by Government Departments on any specific Commission proposals which are likely to be of concern to them.
