PUBLIC ‘ CLOSING EYES TO COMMON MARKET


I WAS working opposite Mr Eric Heffer in the House of Commons Lib­ rary last week when I was struck by his look of concentration and the fact that he seemed in danger of driving his pen through the writing p a p e r . I can only assume he was making notes for the speech which provoked his dis­ missal by Mr Wilson. Now I don’t like Mr Heffer

one bit. Politically he is a • member of the Tribune Group of extreme Left Wing Labour MPs. Nevertheless, on the rccar.t issue I take his side. Everyone knows his deep antagonism to the Common Market, indeed he has gone on record as saying that he wants to see capitalism . “phased out.” The EEC is apparently a wicked conspiracy by the bosses to preserve private industry in Western Europe in the face of the well-known demand by the workers of Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Luxem­ bourg, Denmark, Eire and Italy for a lovely system of complete state control. It is possible to argue that


Mr Heffer should never have been a Minister at all, but that is not the point. A Minister he was. The Prime Minister in effect said to him: “I know your views and, of course, outside Westminster you may express them with all the power at your command. However, one cheep out of you in Parliament and you are


sacked.” HONOUR

have been followed by a number of his Ministerial colleagues, had they been politically honourable. For the Common Market is not an issue of private conscience but of public policy.

it put two thoughts into my head, one about Parliament and the other about the British people. With regard to Parliament why did we not vote to have an edited version of our proceedings televised? I did, but a majority voted for what I regard as a ridiculous compromise. An- experiment with an edited radio version, but no experiments with tele­ vision.

Conservative Government's decision — backed by a large non-party . majority in the Commons — to enter the Community as important, but not earth-shattering. We had been members of EFTA, we are members of NATO pledged to a military alliance, peace or war, in Western Europe. On the subject of being a member of that alliance, I have never had letter in my life.


Personally I regard the


Market, the constant com­ plaint is of lack of informa­ tion. I must say that I find this remarkable. Politicians have been talking about it for years, newspapers, radio and television have filled their


pages and their programmes. Free information is available from a number of organisa­ tions. Concerned bodies like the textile industry and the NFU have published their views'. Many large firms have carried out surveys on com­ mercial possibilities, and, since Britain has been a member, results as well. Local authorities have
