Britain’s entry into market would have limited U.S. impact
The House of Commons approved entry as a bloc with 356 to 244. Full entry would occur about 14 months later after other nations’ approval and Britain’s enabling legislation. A stronger European bloc could reduce U S aid needs and boost competition, with tariff cuts from 10 to 7 percent and a potential $100 million annual sales loss as European producers gain duty-free access.

Economic Chaos Spurs NI Policy Urgency as IRA Strikes
Belfast reports Commerce Minister Roy Bradford warns that IRA violence threatens Northern Ireland economy. He says bankruptcy could come in weeks amid falling foreign investment and tourism revenue sliding from 67.2 million in 1968 to 55.2 million last year. Government estimates losses reach 60 million through last year with 36 million more expected in 1971. Unemployment rises as Belfast stores reduce sales and staff, and a committee studies development while public investment is urged.
