Wilson Expected To Gain 500 Votes In ECM Debate LONDON (Reuters) -- Prime Minister Wilson today surfaced from a weekend of work on a major speech aimed at winning Parliament's unequivocal ap- proval on Britain's new bid to join the European Common Market. The big margin enjoyed by the ruling Labor party in the House of Commons was ex- pected to be bolstered by the support of Conservative and Liberal members, giving the government one of Britain's big- gest peacetime parliamentary majorities. Although at least 75 Labor members dislike the Common Market bid, Wilson's three-day debate appears almost certain to end by pocketing 500 votes in the 630-member House. Ironically, the anti-Market La- bor rebels are led by veteran campaigner Emanuel Shinwell, who recently resigned as chairs man of the parliamentary La- bor group because he. wanted tougher discipline for dissident legislators. AWAITING DETAIL Restatement in detail by Wil- son of the economic arguments in favor of joining the six-nae tion European Economic Com- munity, and stress in his belief that these are outweighted by the necessity for British in- volvement in Europe's political future, was what the MPs were waiting for. Wilson planned to keep to keep to generalities as far as possible, to avoid tying the hands of his negotiating team when talks on the British ap- plication open in Brussels, pos- sibly next month.
