Mr. Spearing
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on what occasions and by what  means Her Majesty's Government have made specific undertakings in regard to direct elections to a European Assembly, other than by general statements related to the Treaty of Rome (a) prior to May 1975, and (b) since that date.

Mr. Judd
My right hon. Friend and I described the position fully in the debate on 20th and 25th April.
