' I think in Scotland, we're very unaware of Europe.... and with regard to the Commonwealth, it is even more difficult to identify with that.' Dorothy Little , an Edinburgh solicitor, is worried about the apparent indifference of British public opinion towards both EEC and Commonwealth when both, in her view, could do so much to help bridge the gulf between the affluent and poor countries of the world.
In direct response to her request to the BBC. Shridath Rampal. Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, and Lord Thomson, until recently one of the Commissioners of the European Economic Community, discuss with John Tusa some of the issues that worry Miss Little.
