asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a detailed statement, giving as much information as may be available, of the advantages and disadvantages that have occurred during Great Britain's first year in membership of the European Economic Community; and to what extent trade, prices, rules and regulations imposed or agreed in Brussels have affected this situation.

Following the hon. Member's recent letter to him on this subject, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will be writing to him.
