Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 5 Rhagfyr 1973.
Whether the reaction to the omnibus nature of my right hon. Friend's statement is real or stimulated, ought not the Leader of the House to consider coming to some arrangement by which proper priority can be given to the various subjects that have to be reported upon? I hold views different from those of my right hon. Friend about general policy connected with the Treaty of Rome, but I feel that now that we are in the Community it should be discussed sensibly. The sourness of the exchanges every time we have a statement can only detract from that and is not in the best interests of the eventual outcome or of the House.
