HC Deb 19 October 1988 vol 138 c966W
Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to publicise the availability of the Treaty Series No. 47 (1988) treaties establishing the European Communities (CM. 455).

Mrs. Chalker

I am grateful for this opportunity to draw the attention of the House to the consolidated version of the three basic Community treaties as amended by the Single European Act, recently published by HMSO. Copies of the Command Paper have been deposited in the Library of the House.

Publication of the Cm. 455 was announced in HMSO's Daily List and on Prestel in the normal way. It will be listed in HMSO's September monthly catalogue and will be one of the featured titles in the July-September "New Books from HMSO" leaflet.

In addition, HMSO is planning to mail fuller details, with information on other titles of European interest, to some 5,000 bookshops, businesses and libraries shortly.

Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list any statutes, treaties or other agreements which define the scope and manner of the internal and external relationships and obligations of member states of the European Economic Communities, other than those contained in Treaty Series 47 of 1988 (Cm. 455).

Mrs. Chalker

There are none.
