HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 c380W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Prime Minister if she will take steps to ensure that her Ministers issue guidelines to the general public and enforcement authorities in cases where United Kingdom laws are suspended or substantially amended in practice by court decisions related to the European treaties; and if she will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

Where a court holds that national law conflicts with Community law its order will tell the parties before it what they are to do or not to do. If any question of interpretation of the decision were to arise it would be for the courts to determine, not the Government.
