William Pickles argues that in the Common Market - we give too much and get too little
In this, the second of two debates on the Common Market, WILLIAM PICKLES, lately Reader in Political Science at London University and a Lecturer at the London School of Economics, says that the tentacles of the Community octopus stretch into areas never dreamed of by the authors of the Treaty of Rome - into areas that affect every man, woman and child in hundreds of different ways.
He lists our loss of sovereignty over such issues as food prices, the level of employment, control of cartels and monopolies, over immigration from other EEC countries and even, in due course, the level of vat. He denies that Britain's economic position will improve in the medium or longer term through our membership of a 250-million strong trading block and says that it will in fact deteriorate. WILLIAM PICKLES argues this case with his critics before an invited audience at the Royal Institution, London. Chairman Robin Day
