Mr. Gwilym Roberts
asked the Lord President of the Council if he will take the opportunity provided by the Common Market referendum to obtain at a low cost Welsh and Scottish opinion on the need for Welsh and Scottish parliaments by including on the referendum form in these countries an additional question on the devolution issue; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Edward Short
No. As indicated in the preface to the White Paper on the referendum (Command 5925) it is to be held because of the unique nature of the EEC issue.
