HC Deb 01 March 1999 vol 326 c574W
Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will place in the Library a copy of the internal document on the development of the internal market. [73268]

Mr. Wilson

[holding answer 25 February 1999]I am not entirely certain to which document the hon. Member is referring. A copy of the European Commission's latest document charting progress in the internal market, published in October 1998 and entitled Single Market Scoreboard No.3, can be found in the Library of the House. An explanatory memorandum on this document was submitted to the Parliamentary scrutiny committees on 11 December. I understand that the Commission intends to issue shortly a communication which assesses progress on the Single Market Action Plan. When published, this will be placed in the Library of the House according to normal procedures, although I expect that it will be available sooner via the European Commission's website.
