To ask the Prime Minister what proposals he will put forward to enable the Danish request for exemption from part two of the treaty on European union, concerning citizenship, to be met.

Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Prime Minister in what areas of policy covered by the treaty on European union will the Commission's role be solely advisory.

There are provisions in the treaty on European union for the Commission to be consulted on a proposal by another party; for example, article 168a—court of first instance—and article N—amendment of the treaty.
